« | Psalm 123 | » |
1 I lift up my eyes to You, O You Whose throne is in the heavens.
2 See, the eyes of servants look to the hand of their owner. The eyes of a woman servant look to the hand of her owner. So our eyes look to the Lord our God, until He shows us loving-kindness.
3 Show loving-kindness to us, O Lord. Show loving-kindness to us. For we have had our fill of hate.
4 The proud have laughed at us too long. We have had more than enough of their hate.
The New Life Version (NLV)
The New Life Version (NLV) is a unique English translation of the Bible designed to be exceptionally easy to read and understand. First published in 1969, the NLV was created by Gleason Ledyard, a missionary and linguist, to make the Scriptures accessible to people who have limited English proficiency or are new to the language. Ledyard’s aim was to provide a Bible that even those with minimal education could read and comprehend, thus opening the door for a wider audience to engage with the biblical texts.
