1Yahweh, I look up toward you, up to heaven, from where you rule.
שיר המעלות אליך נשאתי את עיני הישבי בשמים׃
2Like servants ask [IDM] their masters [for what they need] and like maids ask t their mistresses [for what they need], we ask you, Yahweh our God, [for what we need], and we ask you to be merciful to us.
הנה כעיני עבדים אל יד אדוניהם כעיני שפחה אל יד גברתה כן עינינו אל יהוה אלהינו עד שיחננו׃
3Yahweh, be very merciful [DOU] to us because [our enemies] have acted very contemptuously toward us.
חננו יהוה חננו כי רב שבענו בוז׃
4Rich people have made fun of us for a long time, and proud [people] who have (oppressed/acted cruelly toward) us have acted toward us as though we were worthless.
