Joy in God’s House
[Psalms 122:1-9](../../../kjv/psalms/122/1-9)
****
As in the other psalms of the series there is here alternation between soloist and choir. In [Psalms 122:1](../../../kjv/psalms/122/1) the *soloist* rejoices in the proposal made to go on a pilgrimage. The *chorus* announces that the journey is already accomplished, [Psalms 122:2-5](../../../kjv/psalms/122/2-5) . The Church of Christ is compacted, built together, by His tears, and blood, and risen power. In [Psalms 122:6](../../../kjv/psalms/122/6) , the *soloist* bids the company salute Jerusalem, r.v. margin, and the *chorus* replies. In [Psalms 122:7-9](../../../kjv/psalms/122/7-9) the *soloist* announces three reasons why they should pray for Jerusalem’s peace: They who love her prosper; those who reside within her precincts are our brethren and companions; hers is the house of God builded for His habitation.
[Psalms 123:1-4](../../../kjv/psalms/123/1-4)
The life of the pilgrim is full of sharp contrasts. Yesterday he was rejoicing in Jerusalem and sharing her peace; today he is grieved with the contempt of her foes. Hence this tiny psalm, which has been compared to “a sigh, an upward look, a sigh.” The oriental servant is an adept at reading the meaning of his master’s slightest gesture, [Psalms 123:2](../../../kjv/psalms/123/2) . Let us live, as our Savior did, with our eye fixed on the least indication of God’s will. See [Acts 16:1-10](../../../kjv/acts/16/1-10) .
