Lift up my eyes to the Lord

Psalm 123:1-8
Contempt: the feeling with which a person regards anything considered mean, vile, or worthless; disdain; scorn.
I lift up eyes to the Lord, as the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master.
Have mercy on us, O Lord, for we have endured much contempt.
The appeal is to God, who cares for those the rich treat with contempt.
Verse 1 is a single voice; then the group speaks.
Why?
The psalmist has hope on God only. He call out to the Lord.
We are the servants of the Lord!
How?
I have difficult task right now, I have to look up my eyes to the Lord, call out to God for I have not idea to solve it.
