Psalm 123 – Looking to God for Mercy When the World Looks Down on You

This psalm doesn’t argue. It doesn’t defend. It just looks up.

Psalm 123 is a short but weighty prayer — offered by someone weary of mockery, tired of prideful voices, and surrounded by those who live at ease while scorning the faithful. But instead of retaliating, the psalmist lifts their eyes to heaven. To the throne. To the hand that gives mercy.

This is a psalm for the misunderstood. For the looked down on. For the ones who stay faithful when it would be easier to stop. It reminds us that God sees — and that those who wait on His mercy are never ignored.

Let Psalm 123 remind you: contempt may be loud, but heaven is listening.
