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 A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens.2 Lo, as eyes of men-servants [Are] unto the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maid-servant [Are] unto the hand of her mistress, So [are] our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He doth favour us.3 Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,4 Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
