JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1I lift up my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.
1A Song of Ascents. Unto Thee I lift up mine eyes, O Thou that art enthroned in the heavens.
2As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on the LORD our God until He shows us mercy.
2Behold, as the eyes of servants unto the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look unto the LORD our God, until He be gracious unto us.
3Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy, for we have endured much contempt.
3Be gracious unto us, O LORD, be gracious unto us; for we are full sated with contempt.
4We have endured much scorn from the arrogant, much contempt from the proud.
4Our soul is full sated with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud oppressors.
