1 I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven.
1
I lift up my eyes to you, the one enthroned in the heavens.
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
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 Yahweh our God, until he is gracious to us.
3 Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt.
3
Be gracious to us, O Yahweh, be gracious to us, for long enough we have had our fill of contempt.
4 We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud.
4
For long enough our soul has had its fill of the derision of the self-confident, the contempt of [the] arrogant.
