The brief Psalm 123 is very precious; here the tried and troubled Israelites have, we may say, made another advance not only in the way to Jerusalem, but in the experience of their souls, for how could Jerusalem’s coming splendors satisfy the heart unless Jehovah be there? To Him they now address themselves; to Him they look; for Him they wait until He shall have mercy upon them. Not yet are their sorrows wholly past; the scorners and the proud have not been put down, nor the lowly exalted.
