Psalm 123
ESV Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
English Standard VersionNew Living Translation
1To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens!1I lift my eyes to you, O God, enthroned in heaven.
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.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 upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt.3Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy, for we have had our fill of contempt.
4Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud.4We have had more than our fill of the scoffing of the proud and the contempt of the arrogant.
