KING JAMES VERSION (KJV)


1  (A Song of degrees.) 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.

2  Beholde, as the eyes of seruants looke vnto the hand of their Masters, and as the eyes of a maiden, vnto the hand of her mistresse: so our eyes waite vpon the Lord our God, vntill that he haue mercy vpon vs.

3  Haue mercy vpon vs, O Lord, haue mercy vpon vs: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4  Our soule is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease: and with the contempt of the proud.
