1A Song of degrees. Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. | 1I lift my eyes to you, the one enthroned in heaven. |
2Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us. | 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. |
3Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. | 3Show us favor, LORD, show us favor, for we've had more than enough contempt. |
4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud. | 4We've had more than enough scorn from the arrogant and contempt from the proud. |
