Psalm 123 and Revelation 19:5-10

PSALM 123

¹   To you I lift up my eyes, 
          O you who are enthroned in the heavens! 
²   As the eyes of servants 
          look to the hand of their master, 
     as the eyes of a maid 
          to the hand of her mistress, 
     so our eyes look to the LORD our God, 
          until he has mercy upon us.

³   Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, 
          for we have had more than enough of contempt. 
⁴   Our soul has had more than its fill 
          of the scorn of those who are at ease, 

          of the contempt of the proud.

REVELATION 19:5-10

⁵And from the throne came a voice saying, 
     "Praise our God, 
          all you his servants, 
     and all who fear him, 
          small and great." 
⁶Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunderpeals, crying out, 
     "Hallelujah! 
     For the Lord our God 
          the Almighty reigns. 
⁷   Let us rejoice and exult 
          and give him the glory, 
     for the marriage of the Lamb has come, 
          and his bride has made herself ready; 
⁸   to her it has been granted to be clothed 
          with fine linen, bright and pure" — 
for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.

 

⁹And the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These are true words of God." ¹⁰Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, "You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your comrades who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."
