| New King James Version | International Standard Version |
| 1A Song of Ascents. Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You who dwell in the heavens. | 1To you, who sit enthroned in heaven, I lift up my eyes. |
| 2Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the LORD our God, Until He has mercy on us. | 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. |
| 3Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us! For we are exceedingly filled with contempt. | 3Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy, for we have had more than enough of contempt. |
| 4Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scorn of those who are at ease, With the contempt of the proud. | 4Our lives overflow with scorn from those who live at ease, with contempt from those who are proud. |
