Old Testament • 4 Verses
1To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.
2Behold as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters, As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us.
3Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.
4For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.
Reading Psalms Chapter 122 reminds us that we are part of a great story—God's story of love, redemption, and hope. Each verse contributes to the beautiful narrative of God's relationship with humanity, showing His patience, mercy, and desire for our good. As you reflect on these words, consider how your own life fits into this larger story. How is God working in your circumstances? What role are you called to play in His ongoing work of redemption? Let this chapter inspire you to see your life as part of God's grand plan.
