Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

Psalms 123 Study & Commentary
Psalm 123 is a prayer of trust and a plea for mercy as the eyes of the servants look to the hand of their masters, so the psalmist looks to God while being filled with contempt from the proud.
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. Focused Attention: Just as servants watch their master’s hand, we must keep our eyes fixed on God for direction and mercy (v. 2).2. Dealing with Contempt: When the world mocks, our only recourse is to cry for God’s mercy.
