Have mercy on us

The abstract noun "mercy" can be stated as an action. See how you translated a similar phrase in Psalms 123:2. AT: "act mercifully toward us" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns)

we are filled ... We are more than full

These two phrases have similar meaning, with the second increasing the intensity of the first. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)

we are filled with humiliation

Here humiliation is spoken of as if it were something that could be fill up a person. "we are very disgraced" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
