Youngs Literal Translation


123:1 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens.
123:2 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. 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.
123:3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,
123:4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud. Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!
