Hebrew Names Version HNV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 <<A Ma`alot Song.>> To you I do lift up my eyes, You who sit in the heavens.
1
A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens.
2 Behold, 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 on us.
2
Lo, as eyes of men-servants [Are] unto the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maid-servant [Are] unto the hand of her mistress, So [are] our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He doth favour us.
3 Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, For we have endured much contempt.
3
Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, With the contempt of the proud.
4
Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
