Psalm Ps. 123. This is a community lament, as the references to “we” and “us” show. In this Song of Ascents (see note on Psalm 120), the faithful pilgrims feel themselves to be the objects of scorn and contempt. The psalm goes beyond simply asking for a safe journey. It seeks relief from the scorn.
Ps. 123:1–2 The first section describes the way God’s faithful look toward God for help. The image of servants looking to a master and a maidservant to a mistress is that of waiting patiently and trustingly for God to act.
Ps. 123:3–4 The wait for mercy (v. 2) becomes a prayer, have mercy upon us. The mercy desired is relief from those who show contempt and scorn toward the faithful pilgrims.
