New International Version NIV
The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
1 I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven.
1
A song of ascents: I raise my eyes to you, whose throne is in heaven.
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.
2
As a servant looks to the hand of his master, or a slave-girl to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes turn to ADONAI our God, until he has mercy on us.
3 Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt.
3
Have mercy on us, ADONAI, have mercy; for we have had our fill of contempt,
4 We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud.
4
more than our fill of scorn from the complacent and contempt from the arrogant.
