JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.
1A Song of Ascents; of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me: 'Let us go unto the house of the LORD.'
2Behold as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us.
2Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;
3Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.
3Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together;
4For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.
4Whither the tribes went up, even the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
