Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.

Psalms 122
1A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to you, who dwells in the heavens. 2Behold, as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, as the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress, so our eyes are upon the Lord our God, until he may be merciful to us. 3Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us. For we have been filled with utter disdain. 4For our soul has been greatly filled. We are the disgrace of those who have abundance and the disdain of the arrogant.
