New Living Translation NLT
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 I lift my eyes to you, O God, enthroned in heaven.
1
A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller 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
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, for we have had our fill of contempt.
3
Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,
4 We have had more than our fill of the scoffing of the proud and the contempt of the arrogant.
4
Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
