Psalms 122:1-124:8
‘I
was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the House of the Lord”’
(Psalm 122:2). Why, Lord, do we go to Your House? We go ‘to give thanks
to the Name of the Lord’ (Psalm 122:4). We seek Your mercy for our past
sins: ‘Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us!’ (Psalm 123:3). We
seek Your help for our future temptations: ‘Our help is in the Name of
the Lord…’ (Psalm 124:8). We receive mercy and help from You, Lord. Help
us to worship You: ‘Blessed be the Lord’ (Psalm 124:6). In our worship,
we ‘look to You, the Lord our God. We draw encouragement from Your
Word: ‘The Lord is on our side’ – In Him we have the victory (Psalm
123:2; Psalm 124:1-5). Help us, Lord, to rejoice in Your blessing and
to pray for others: ‘May they prosper who love You’ (Psalm 122:6).
