1 A ti, que habitas nos céus,

elevo os olhos!

2 Como os olhos dos servos estão fitos

nas mãos dos seus senhores,

e os olhos da serva,

na mão de sua senhora,

assim os nossos olhos estão fitos no Senhor, nosso Deus,

até que se compadeça de nós.

3 Tem misericórdia de nós, Senhor, tem misericórdia;

pois estamos sobremodo fartos de desprezo.

4 A nossa alma está saturada

do escárnio dos que estão à sua vontade

e do desprezo dos soberbos.

1 Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes,

O thou that sittest in the heavens.

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their master,

As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress;

So our eyes look unto Jehovah our God,

Until he have mercy upon us.

3 Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us;

For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4 Our soul is exceedingly filled

With the scoffing of those that are at ease,

And with the contempt of the proud.

1 I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven.

2 As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he shows us his mercy.

3 Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt.

4 We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud.
