I look up to you

Psalm 123:1-4 GNT (with additions by PW)

Lord, I look up to you,
up to heaven, where you rule.

As a servant depends on his master,
as a maid depends on her mistress,
so we will keep looking to you, O Lord our God,
until you have mercy on us.

As an athlete depends on his trainer,
as a baby depends on her mother,
so we will keep looking to you, O Lord our God,
until you have mercy on us.

As apprentices depend on their tradesmen
as a flower depends on the falling rain
so we will keep looking to you, O Lord our God,
until you have mercy on us.

Be merciful to us, Lord, be merciful;
we have been treated with so much contempt.

We have been mocked too long by the rich
and scorned by proud oppressors.
