1
A Song of degrees. Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
Tot U hef ek my oë op, o U wat in die hemele woon.

King James Version
AFR DVK
2
Behold, 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.
Kyk, soos die oë van diensknegte na die hand van hulle meesters, en soos die oë van ’n diensmaagd na die hand van haar meesteres; so is ons oë tot die HERE onse God, totdat Hy ons genadig is.
3
Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
Wees ons genadig, o HERE, wees ons genadig: want ons is uitermate vol van veragting.
4
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, [and] with the contempt of the proud.
Ons siel is uitermate vol van die spot van dié wat gerus is, en van die veragting van die trotses.
