1(123) A Song of Degrees. To you who dwell in heaven have I lifted up my eyes.
1A Song of Ascents. By David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to Yahweh’s house!”
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 are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!
3Have pity upon us, O Lord, have pity upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
3Jerusalem is built 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.
4where the tribes go up, even Yah’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to Yahweh’s name.
