New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 I raise my eyes to you— you who rule heaven.
|
1 I lift up my eyes to you, to you whose throne is in heaven.
|
|
2 Just as the eyes of servants attend to their masters' hand, just as the eyes of a female servant attends to her mistress' hand— that's how our eyes attend to the LORD our God until he has mercy on us.
|
2 As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he shows us his mercy.
|
|
3 Have mercy on us, LORD! Have mercy because we've had more than enough shame.
|
3 Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.
|
|
4 We've had more than enough mockery from the self-confident, more than enough shame from the proud.
|
4 We have endured much ridicule from the proud, much contempt from the arrogant.
