OET (OET-LV) Here as_eyes_of slaves [which_are]_to the_hand_of master_of_their as_eyes_of a_female_slave [which_are]_to the_hand_of mistress_of_her so eyes_of_our [are]_to YHWH god_of_our until he_gracious_us.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
as the eyes of servants & as the eyes of a maid & so our eyes look
(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! as,eyes_of servants to/towards hand_of master_of,their as,eyes_of maid to/towards hand_of mistress_of,her yes/correct/thus/so eyes_of,our to/towards YHWH God_of,our until he,gracious,us )
These three phrases have similar meanings. The third phrase, about the Israelites, is being compared to how the servants and maids look to their masters and mistresses for help. In each case “eyes” refers to the whole person. (See also: figs-synecdoche)
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
master’s hand & mistress’s hand
(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! as,eyes_of servants to/towards hand_of master_of,their as,eyes_of maid to/towards hand_of mistress_of,her yes/correct/thus/so eyes_of,our to/towards YHWH God_of,our until he,gracious,us )
Here “hand” refers to the provision for needs. Alternate translation: “master’s provision … mistress’s provision”
maid
(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! as,eyes_of servants to/towards hand_of master_of,their as,eyes_of maid to/towards hand_of mistress_of,her yes/correct/thus/so eyes_of,our to/towards YHWH God_of,our until he,gracious,us )
servant girl
mistress
(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! as,eyes_of servants to/towards hand_of master_of,their as,eyes_of maid to/towards hand_of mistress_of,her yes/correct/thus/so eyes_of,our to/towards YHWH God_of,our until he,gracious,us )
woman who has authority over servant girls
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
has mercy on us
(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! as,eyes_of servants to/towards hand_of master_of,their as,eyes_of maid to/towards hand_of mistress_of,her yes/correct/thus/so eyes_of,our to/towards YHWH God_of,our until he,gracious,us )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word mercy, you could express the same idea with a verbal form. Alternate translation: “act mercifully toward us”
Ps 123 This lament on the psalmist’s lowly position expresses vivid trust in the Lord (123:1-2). The psalmist prays for God’s favor on the community, as the reality of evil surrounds them (123:3-4). The poet looks beyond Jerusalem (Ps 122) to God’s throne in heaven.
OET (OET-LV) Here as_eyes_of slaves [which_are]_to the_hand_of master_of_their as_eyes_of a_female_slave [which_are]_to the_hand_of mistress_of_her so eyes_of_our [are]_to YHWH god_of_our until he_gracious_us.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
