International Standard Version | New American Standard Bible 1995 |
1To you, who sit enthroned in heaven, I lift up my eyes. | 1A Song of Ascents. To You I lift up my eyes, O You who are enthroned in the heavens! |
2Consider this: as the eyes of a servant focus on what his master provides, and as the eyes of a female servant focus on what her mistress provides, so our eyes focus on the LORD our God, until he has mercy on us. | 2Behold, 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 the LORD our God, Until He is gracious to us. |
3Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy, for we have had more than enough of contempt. | 3Be gracious to us, O LORD, be gracious to us, For we are greatly filled with contempt. |
4Our lives overflow with scorn from those who live at ease, with contempt from those who are proud. | 4Our soul is greatly filled With the scoffing of those who are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud. |
