American Standard Version ASV
Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB
1 Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens.
1
I lift my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress; So our eyes [look] unto Jehovah our God, Until he have mercy upon us.
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.
3 Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
3
Show us favor, Lord, show us favor, for we've had more than enough contempt.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those that are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.
4
We've had more than enough scorn from the arrogant [and] contempt from the proud.
