Psalm 123:4
“Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud. ”
KJV
Read in Psalm 123Meaning
Those 'at ease' and the proud are characterized by scorn. The verse contrasts social security with the suffering community, but it does not declare every comfortable or wealthy person wicked.
Mercy under contempt
Identifies the social source of the contempt and closes the lament without narrating retaliation.
