Psalms 123:2

Look, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a female servant look to the hand of her mistress, 1  so my eyes will look to the Lord, our God, until he shows us favor.

BBE ©

See! as the eyes of servants are turned to the hands of their masters, and the eyes of a servant-girl to her owner, so our eyes are waiting for the Lord our God, till he has mercy on us.
