New International Version NIV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven.
1
A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller 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
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 no end of contempt.
3
Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,
4 We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud.
4
Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
