Psalms 141:8

Surely I am looking to you, ¹  O sovereign Lord. In you I take shelter. Do not expose me to danger! ² 

But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge— do not give me over to death.

For my eyes are toward You, O GOD, the Lord; In You I take refuge; do not leave me defenseless.

I look to you for help, O Sovereign LORD. You are my refuge; don’t let them kill me.

But GOD, dear Lord, I only have eyes for you. Since I've run for dear life to you, take good care of me.

But my eyes are turned to you, O Lord God: my hope is in you; let not my soul be given up to death.

But my eyes are turned toward you, O GOD, my Lord; in you I seek refuge; do not leave me defenseless.

But my eyes are upon You, O GOD the Lord; In You I take refuge; Do not leave my soul destitute.

Surely I am looking to you, ¹  O sovereign Lord. In you I take shelter. Do not expose me to danger! ² 

¹ tn Heb “my eyes [are] toward you.”

² tn Heb “do not lay bare my life.” Only here is the Piel form of the verb collocated with the term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh, “life”). In Isa 53:12 the Lord’s servant “lays bare (the Hiphil form of the verb is used) his life to death.”
