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.
up to heaven, where you rule.

4 We have been mocked too long by the rich
and scorned by proud oppressors.
Think
This Psalm gives a voice to those who are
the most oppressed by their circumstances.
Teaching us to trust in God's power to lift us up when we are pushed
down.
Pray
Be merciful to us, Lord, be merciful.
