Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX
New International Version NIV
1 Unto thee who dwellest in heaven have I lifted up mine eyes.
1
I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants are directed to the hands of their masters, and as the eyes of a maidservant to the hands of her mistress; so our eyes are directed to the Lord our God, until he 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 pity upon us, O Lord, have pity upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
3
Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt.
4 Yea, our soul has been exceedingly filled with it: let the reproach be to them that are at ease, and contempt to the proud.
4
We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud.
