Read Psalm 123

Read Psalm 123

      Lord, I look up to you,

up to heaven, where you rule.

²     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.

³     Be merciful to us, Lord, be merciful;

we have been treated with so much contempt.

⁴     We have been mocked too long by the rich

and scorned by proud oppressors.

Think

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

People often ask me why we should pray when God already knows what we need.

Praying is a way of saying to God and to ourselves that we depend on God. A way of reminding ourselves that we need God's help.

Pray

Pray the Psalm.
