Verse YLT Young's Literal Translation KJV King James Version
1
A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens.
Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2
Lo , as eyes of men- servants `Are' unto the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maid-servant `Are' unto the hand of her mistress , So `are' our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He doth favour us.
Behold , 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.
3
Favour us, O Jehovah , favour us , For greatly have we been filled with contempt ,
Have mercy upon us, O LORD , have mercy upon us : for we are exceedingly filled with contempt .
4
Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones , With the contempt of the arrogant!
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease , and with the contempt of the proud.
