| King James Bible | International Standard Version |
| 1A Song of degrees. Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. | 1To you, who sit enthroned in heaven, I lift up my eyes. |
| 2Behold, 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. | 2Consider this: as the eyes of a servant focus on what his master provides, and as the eyes of a female servant focus on what her mistress provides, so our eyes focus on the LORD our God, until he has mercy on us. |
| 3Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. | 3Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy, for we have had more than enough of contempt. |
| 4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud. | 4Our lives overflow with scorn from those who live at ease, with contempt from those who are proud. |
