Psalm 123:2

Psalm 123:2 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

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.

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.

2Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,

As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,

So our eyes look to the Lord our God,

Until He is gracious to us.

2Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,

And as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,

So our eyes look to the Lord our God,

Until He is gracious and favorable toward us.

2As the eyes of servants

look to the hand of their master,

as the eyes of a maidservant

look to the hand of her mistress,

so our eyes are on the Lord our God

until He shows us mercy.

2Slaves depend on their masters.

A female slave depends on the woman she works for.

In the same way, we depend on the Lord our God.

We wait for him to have mercy on us.
