In Psalm 123 we read:
1-4 I look to you, heaven-dwelling God,
look up to you for help.
Like servants, alert to their master’s commands,
like a maiden attending her lady,
We’re watching and waiting, holding our breath,
awaiting your word of mercy.
Mercy, God, mercy!
We’ve been kicked around long enough,
Kicked in the teeth by complacent rich men,
kicked when we’re down by arrogant brutes.
The people of the Lord has been persecuted by arrogant brutes. Some men demand to be praised by others. They persecute the people of the Lord who don't bow to them. The psalmist asks that the Lord have mercy on them. I suffered bullying when young. Reading this psalm, I praise the Lord because He had mercy on me.
