Psalms
The book of Psalms contains some of the greatest words ever written, sung, and prayed. The psalms are often lyrics of songs for worship. When you read the Psalms, try to imagine the movement of the people at worship in the Temple. Also, remember that the Psalms are poetry. Therefore, they are more to be proclaimed than explained.
Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
PSALMS 123:1
Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
PSALMS 123:2
Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
PSALMS 123:3
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
PSALMS 123:4
