1. 坐在天上的主阿，我向你举目。 To You do I lift up my eyes, You who sit enthroned in heaven.
2. 看哪，仆人的眼睛怎样望主人的手，使女的眼睛怎样望主母的手，我们的眼睛也照样望耶和华我们的神，直到祂恩待我们。 Behold, as the eyes of the servants Look to the hand of their masters, As the eyes of a servant girl Look to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to Jehovah our God, Until He is gracious to us.
3. 耶和华阿，求你恩待我们，恩待我们；因为我们饱受藐视，到了极点。 Be gracious to us, O Jehovah, be gracious to us; For we are greatly filled with contempt.
4. 我们的魂饱受那些安逸人的讥诮，和骄傲人的藐视，到了极点。 Our soul is greatly filled With the scorn of those who are at ease, With the contempt of the proud.
