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”
