King James Bible | English Standard Version |
1A Song of degrees. Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. | 1To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens! |
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. | 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. |
3Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. | 3Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt. |
4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud. | 4Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud. |
