א שִׁיר, הַמַּעֲלוֹת:
אֵלֶיךָ, נָשָׂאתִי אֶת-עֵינַי– הַיֹּשְׁבִי, בַּשָּׁמָיִם. |
1 A Song of Ascents. {N}
Unto Thee I lift up mine eyes, O Thou that art enthroned in the heavens. |
ב הִנֵּה כְעֵינֵי עֲבָדִים, אֶל-יַד אֲדוֹנֵיהֶם–
כְּעֵינֵי שִׁפְחָה, אֶל-יַד גְּבִרְתָּהּ:
כֵּן עֵינֵינוּ, אֶל-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ– עַד, שֶׁיְּחָנֵּנוּ. |
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants unto the hand of their master, {N}
as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; {N}
so our eyes look unto the LORD our God, until He be gracious unto us. |
| ג חָנֵּנוּ יְהוָה חָנֵּנוּ: כִּי-רַב, שָׂבַעְנוּ בוּז. |
3 Be gracious unto us, O LORD, be gracious unto us; for we are full sated with contempt. |
ד רַבַּת, שָׂבְעָה-לָּהּ נַפְשֵׁנוּ:
הַלַּעַג הַשַּׁאֲנַנִּים; הַבּוּז, לגאיונים (לִגְאֵי יוֹנִים). |
4 Our soul is full sated {N}
with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud oppressors. {P} |
