| Holman Christian Standard Bible | English Standard Version |
| 1A song of ascents. I lift my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven. | 1To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens! |
| 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. | 2Behold, 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. |
| 3Show us favor, LORD, show us favor, for we've had more than enough contempt. | 3Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt. |
| 4We've had more than enough scorn from the arrogant and contempt from the proud. | 4Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud. |
