Catechesis Notes for the Week — Psalm 123: A Prayer for Help Against Those Who Hold Christians in Contempt—Psalm 123 is another Song of Ascent as the people entered into the Lord’s presence for worship. Christians are often the object of contempt, ridicule, and scorn from those who do not believe in the Gospel. We often grow weary of being attacked because we hold fast to God’s Word and confess the name of Christ. Psalm 123 directs the eyes of faith to look up to the Lord in the heavens, just as a servant relies upon his master or a maid relies upon her mistress for help. We have had our fill of the ridicule of unbelievers, and so we pray for relief in the Lord’s mercy. He will have mercy upon us, for He is our faithful Lord and Savior and He will not abandon us to those who hold us in contempt.
