Psalm 122 and 123

Study 102 – Psalm 122 and 123

1.      The psalmist views Jerusalem as that place where all of the tribes of Israel come together as one in order to worship the Lord Almighty. It is for that reason that he prays that the city of Jerusalem would always enjoy peace. He never wants the praise to the Lord Almighty to cease in the temple at Jerusalem.

2.      The best antidote to despondency is to look to the Lord! When you lock eyes upon a merciful God it is impossible not to be lifted up.
