1 Our Eyes Look to the Lord Our God A Song of Ascents . To you I lift up my eyes , O you who are enthroned in the heavens !
2 Behold , 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.
3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord , have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt .
4 Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease , of the contempt of the proud .
NIV
1 I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven.
2 As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he shows us his mercy.
3 Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt.
4 We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud.
KJV
1 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2 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 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud. Psalm 122 Books Psalm 124
