Psalm 123 – Looking to the LORD for Mercy in Affliction. This psalm is simply titled A Song of Ascents. It is another in the series of psalms sung by pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem at feast time. These songs give us a pattern of preparation to meet with God and His people.
Psalm Chapter 123:1-4
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. Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
Father God, I thank You and praise You at how wonderful it is to lift up our eyes to You in prayer and praise. You are our God and Savior Who is enthroned in heavenly places. I thank You and praise You that there is no enemy that can daunt us, nor any circumstance in life that You do not permit for our spiritual development and eternal good. I thank You that You walked this earth to save the sinner. I believe that I would develop a Christlike character that honors Your name through the trials of life, and I believe that my prayers and praises would raise to You as a sweet as it is in my heart and when I sing outside of me to praise Your Holy name. . Guide me forever walking in spirit and truth and looking to Jesus the author and finisher of all. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Your Precious Name Amen.
