Psalms 123:2 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

How do servants look unto their masters or mistresses, for everything that concerns them? For employment, direction, help, food, countenance, shelter, in short, for everything which poor needy servants, may be supposed to require. So then, but in an infinitely higher degree, would my soul look unto thee, thou blessed Lord and Master, Jesus! I need thee far more than all servants. Thou art my life, my light, my strength, my hope, my confidence, my portion, my guide, my protector, Saviour; in short, my all in all. Without thee, how, or in what shall I be employed? Who will sustain me, blessed Jesus, if thou dust not? What bread can my soul feed upon, but thou that art the bread of God, and the living bread, which cometh down from heaven. And shall I not be naked, and without a garment to cover me, to all eternity, except thou wilt clothe me with thy robe of righteousness? And who will guide me, unless thy blessed Spirit graciously condescend to direct thy poor pilgrim, through the waste and howling wilderness of this world? See, Lord! what a wretched state I am in but for thee. And shall not my eyes wait for thee with more earnestness than all the servants upon the earth are looking to their earthly masters? Yes! precious Jesus! I desire that my whole soul may be waiting for thee, More than they that watch for the morning; yea, I say, more than they that watch for the morning, Psalms 130:6.
