1(123) A Song of Degrees. To you who dwell in heaven have I lifted up my eyes.
1I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.
2Behold, as the eyes of servants [are directed] to the hands of their masters, [and] as the eyes of a maidservant to the hands of her mistress; so our eyes [are directed] to the Lord our God, until he have mercy upon us.
2Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
3Have pity upon us, O Lord, have pity upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
3Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
4[Yes], our soul has been exceedingly filled [with it]: [let] the reproach [be] to them that are at ease, and contempt to the proud.
4Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.
