JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
1A Song of Ascents. Unto Thee I lift up mine eyes, O Thou that art enthroned in the heavens.
2Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
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 upon us, O LORD , have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
3Be gracious unto us, O LORD, be gracious unto us; for we are full sated with contempt.
4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
4Our soul is full sated with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud oppressors.
