Verse 4 is found in chapter 123 of Psalms. Psalm 123 portrays the people lifting their eyes toward God like servants waiting for the attention of their master. The image emphasizes dependence and expectation. The community is overwhelmed by contempt from arrogant people and asks for mercy precisely because humiliation has become unbearable. The brevity of the psalm concentrates the entire response on looking toward God and awaiting his compassion.
