1 坐在天上的主啊！ 我向你举目。（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题）

2 仆人的眼睛怎样望着主人的手， 婢女的眼睛怎样望着主母的手， 我们的眼睛也照样望着耶和华我们的 神， 直到他向我们施恩。

3 耶和华啊！ 求你向我们施恩， 求你向我们施恩； 因为我们饱受藐视， 到了极点。

4 我们饱受那些安逸的人的嘲笑， 和骄傲的人的藐视， 到了极点。

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.
