I lift my eyes on you, have mercy on us; Psalm 123

Psalm 123:1-4
I lift up my eyes to you,to you who sit enthroned in heaven. 
As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their masteras the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our Godtill he shows us his mercy.
Have mercy on usLord, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt.
We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud.
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?
We are living among arrogant and proud, they contempt and ridicule us. How long we endure these? So asked mercy from the Lord.
God has his time and his way, we should love our neighbor. 
Lift up my eyes to you, O Lord, have mercy on us.
How?
No matter what happened lift up my eyes to Jesus, the Lord, and ask mercy on us.
