## Resource

Psalm 123 teaches believers to lift their eyes to the Lord and depend on His mercy in the midst of contempt, opposition, and hardship. In this episode, Dave Jenkins explains how this Song of Ascents calls God's people to humble dependence, patient waiting, and confident trust in the Lord's sovereign care. Psalm 123 ultimately points to Jesus Christ, who endured rejection and mockery yet entrusted Himself completely to the Father. Listeners will learn how to respond biblically to opposition, wait upon God's mercy, and find lasting hope in His grace through Christ.
