Psalm 123

Lift Up Your Hearts

 

Lift up your hearts, O people of God

The Lord sits high upon his throne.

His only Son came on earth to trod

And die that we might be your own.

 

Look to the Lord; he will show mercy

And all of our sin, he will forgive.

Lord, I am glad that you saved me

And opened heav’n where I can live.

 

Lord, when I stray and heed not your call

Then open my eyes that I may see

Your hand on me to soften my fall.

And from my sin, O set me free.

 

Lord, on life’s way please watch over me.

When danger strikes stand by my side.

Focus me eyes, Lord, that I might see

And know you will with me abide.

Now in captivity the children of Israel plead to God for mercy, acknowledging their own failings as well as a contempt for those who defiantly rebuke God.
