BIG IDEA:

WHEN THE PROUD LOOK DOWN ON US WITH CONTEMPT,

THE SERVANTS OF THE LORD NEED TO LOOK UP FOR GOD’S GRACE

I. (:1-2A) WE LOOK UP TO THE LORD OUR GOD

A. Because He is Enthroned in the Heavens

B. Because He is our Master = the one who is responsible to meet our needs

II. (:2B-3A) WE SEEK GOD’S FAVOR = “Be gracious to us”

(repeated 3 times)

III. (:3B-4) WE ARE GREATLY FILLED WITH CONTEMPT

“Our soul is greatly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease”

“And with the contempt of the proud”
