Psalms 123:3. Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
The best thing that the best of men can ask for, is God’s mercy; and that mercy is so great even to the heavens, that, under the weariness of trials and troubles, it is a sufficient help for them. When we are not only in contempt, but even filled with contempt, and, as the text puts it, "exceedingly filled with contempt," so that we have lost our good name amongst men, still may we turn to our God, and seek his mercy.
