Ticīgo acis raugās uz Kungu
1 Augšupceļa dziesma.
Uz tevi es paceļu acis,
tu, kas debesīs sēdi!
2 Redzi, kā vergu acis uz sava kunga rokām,
kā kalpones acis uz savas kundzes rokām,
tā mūsu acis uz Kungu, mūsu Dievu:
gan viņš par mums apžēlosies!
3 Apžēlojies par mums, Kungs,
apžēlojies par mums,
jo mēs gaužām atēdušies nievu!
4 Aplam jau sāta mums dvēsele
laisko izsmiekla un lepno nievu!
(A song for worship.)
A Prayer for Mercy
1 Our Lord and our God,
I turn my eyes to you,
on your throne in heaven.
2 Servants look to their master,
but we will look to you,
until you have mercy on us.
3 Please have mercy, Lord!
We have been insulted
more than we can stand,
4 and we can't take more abuse
from those proud,
conceited people.
