Psalm 122

Today, as we begin our Summer of Psalms series, we turn to Psalm 122—a song of gladness that reminds us of the deep joy found in gathering in the presence of God, in the place of God, with the people of God, while holding tightly to the promises of God. David’s words, “I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord,” echo a truth that still stirs our hearts today: worship is not just a duty but a delight. When we gather, we step into a glimpse of the heavenly city we long for, and we taste the peace and hope that come from standing together in God’s presence, praising His name, and looking forward to the fulfillment of His promises. May this psalm stir in us that same gladness today!
