Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB
New International Version NIV
1 I lift my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.
1
I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven.
2 Like a servant's eyes on His master's hand, like a servant girl's eyes on her mistress's hand, so our eyes are on the Lord our God until He shows us favor.
2
As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he shows us his mercy.
3 Show us favor, Lord, show us favor, for we've had more than enough contempt.
3
Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt.
4 We've had more than enough scorn from the arrogant [and] contempt from the proud.
4
We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud.
