Psalms 123:1

CONTENTS

This Psalm seems to send forth the cries of the soul under exercises. But amidst them all, we may perceive very strong expressions of firm confidence in God.

A Song of Degrees.

Psalms 123:1

It is a blessed thing when the soul, under exercises, is going out in dependence upon the Lord. The prophet remarks, under the burden of Hadrach (by which may be understood the Lord's exercised people under their burdens), that the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be towards the Lord, Zechariah 9:1. Hence, those many calls of the Lord to his people to be always looking unto him. Behold me! behold me! saith Jesus. Look unto me and be ye saved! Behold the Lamb of God! Isaiah 65:1; John 1:29; Isaiah 45:22. There is a most sublime beauty in this title given to the Lord: O thou that dwellest in the heavens. See Isaiah 57:15.
