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, so my eyes will look to the Lord, our God, until he shows us favor.

Make a just decision on my behalf! Decide what is right!

For I am ever aware of your faithfulness, and your loyalty continually motivates me.

Their prosperity causes them to do wrong; their thoughts are sinful.

When I tried to make sense of this, it was troubling to me.

Certainly you will see it with your very own eyes – you will see the wicked paid back.

The Lord values the lives of his faithful followers.

Open my eyes so I can truly see the marvelous things in your law!

Turn my eyes away from what is worthless! Revive me with your word!

My eyes grow tired as I wait for your promise to be fulfilled. I say, “When will you comfort me?”

My eyes grow tired as I wait for your deliverance, for your reliable promise to be fulfilled.

My eyes anticipate the nighttime hours, so that I can meditate on your word.

I will not allow my eyes to sleep, or my eyelids to slumber,

My eyes grow dim from suffering; they grow weak because of all my enemies.

Protect me as you would protect the pupil of your eye! Hide me in the shadow of your wings!

They attack me, now they surround me; they intend to throw me to the ground.

I will instruct and teach you about how you should live. I will advise you as I look you in the eye.

Look, the Lord takes notice of his loyal followers, those who wait for him to demonstrate his faithfulness

The Lord pays attention to the godly and hears their cry for help.

They are ready to devour me; they say, “Aha! Aha! We’ve got you!”
