Common English Bible CEB
New Revised Standard NRS
1 I raise my eyes to you— you who rule heaven.
1
To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens!
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 servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, until he has mercy upon us.
3 Have mercy on us, LORD! Have mercy because we've had more than enough shame.
3
Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt.
4 We've had more than enough mockery from the self-confident, more than enough shame from the proud.
4
Our soul has had more than its fill of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud.
