Christian Standard Bible | NET Bible |
1I lift my eyes to you, the one enthroned in heaven. | 1A song of ascents. I look up toward you, the one enthroned in heaven. |
2Like a servant's eyes on his master's hand, like a servant girl's eyes on her mistress's hand, so our eyes are on the LORD our God until he shows us favor. | 2Look, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a female servant look to the hand of her mistress, so my eyes will look to the LORD, our God, until he shows us favor. |
3Show us favor, LORD, show us favor, for we've had more than enough contempt. | 3Show us favor, O LORD, show us favor! For we have had our fill of humiliation, and then some. |
4We've had more than enough scorn from the arrogant and contempt from the proud. | 4We have had our fill of the taunts of the self-assured, of the contempt of the proud. |
