Psalms 123:2-4
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 123
2Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, As the eyes of a female servant to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the Lord our God, Until He is gracious to us. 3Be gracious to us, Lord, be gracious to us, For we have had much more than enough of contempt. 4Our soul has had much more than enough Of the scoffing of those who are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 123
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. 3Show us favor, Lord, show us favor, for we’ve had more than enough contempt. 4We’ve had more than enough scorn from the arrogant and contempt from the proud.New Living Translation
Chapter 123
2We keep looking to the Lord our God for his mercy, just as servants keep their eyes on their master, as a slave girl watches her mistress for the slightest signal. 3Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy, for we have had our fill of contempt. 4We have had more than our fill of the scoffing of the proud and the contempt of the arrogant.English Standard Version
Chapter 123
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. 3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt. 4Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud.New International Version
Chapter 123
2As 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. 3Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt. 4We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud.New King James Version
