New Living Translation NLT
English Standard Version ESV
1 I lift my eyes to you, O God, enthroned in heaven.
1
To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens!
2 We keep looking to the LORD our God for his mercy, just as servants keep their eyes on their master, as a slave girl watches her mistress for the slightest signal.
2
Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he has mercy upon us.
3 Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy, for we have had our fill of contempt.
3
Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt.
4 We have had more than our fill of the scoffing of the proud and the contempt of the arrogant.
4
Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud.
