BRN if it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us;
BrLXX εἰ μὴ ὅτι Κύριος ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν, ἐν τῷ ἐπαναστῆναι ἀνθρώπους ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς,
(ei maʸ hoti Kurios aʸn en haʸmin, en tōi epanastaʸnai anthrōpous efʼ haʸmas, )
Ps 123 This lament on the psalmist’s lowly position expresses vivid trust in the Lord (123:1-2). The psalmist prays for God’s favor on the community, as the reality of evil surrounds them (123:3-4). The poet looks beyond Jerusalem (Ps 122) to God’s throne in heaven.

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! as,eyes servants to/towards hand master,their as,eyes maid to/towards hand mistress,her yes/correct/thus/so eyes,our to/towards YHWH God,our until he,gracious,us )
These three phrases have similar meanings. The third phrase, about the Israelites, is being compared to how the servants and maids look to their masters and mistresses for help. In each case “eyes” refers to the whole person. (See also: figs-synecdoche)
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
master’s hand & mistress’s hand
(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! as,eyes servants to/towards hand master,their as,eyes maid to/towards hand mistress,her yes/correct/thus/so eyes,our to/towards YHWH God,our until he,gracious,us )
Here “hand” refers to the provision for needs. Alternate translation: “master’s provision … mistress’s provision”
maid
(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! as,eyes servants to/towards hand master,their as,eyes maid to/towards hand mistress,her yes/correct/thus/so eyes,our to/towards YHWH God,our until he,gracious,us )

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! as,eyes servants to/towards hand master,their as,eyes maid to/towards hand mistress,her yes/correct/thus/so eyes,our to/towards YHWH God,our until he,gracious,us )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word mercy, you could express the same idea with a verbal form. Alternate translation: “act mercifully toward us”
