1Gözlerimi sana kaldırıyorum, Ey göklerde taht kuran!2Nasıl kulların gözleri efendilerinin, Hizmetçinin gözleri hanımının eline bakarsa, Bizim gözlerimiz de RAB Tanrımız'a öyle bakar, O bize acıyıncaya dek.3Acı bize, ya RAB, acı; Gördüğümüz hakaret yeter de artar.4Rahat yaşayanların alayları, Küstahların hakareti Canımıza yetti.
1A Song of Ascents. To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens! (Mez 2:4; Mez 25:15; Mez 120:1; Mez 121:1; Mez 141:8)2Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he has mercy upon us.3Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt. (Neh 4:4; Mez 4:1)4Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud. (Neh 2:19; Mez 119:51; Yşa 32:9; Yşa 32:11; Amo 6:1)
