Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB
New International Version NIV
1 Unto thee I lift up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
1
I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven.
2 Behold, as the eyes of slaves <em>look</em> unto the hand of their masters <em>and</em> as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress, so our eyes <em>wait</em> upon the LORD our God, until he shall have mercy upon us.
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 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we are exceedingly weary of <em>being held in</em> contempt.
3
Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt.
4 Our soul is exceedingly weary of the scorning of those that are at ease <em>and</em> of the contempt of the proud.
4
We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud.
