PSALM 123 An urgent prayer

Psalm 123 is a prayer for the community that suffers
from the proud who have ease at the community's expense.
Psalm 123:4 NRSV...Our soul has had more than its fill
of the scorn of those who are at ease,
of the contempt of the proud.
Still today in many countries, a large percentage of the
population lives in poverty and suffers violence and scorn
from " those at ease".
Even in the richest countries, the privileged publicly exhibit
scorn for those lacking equal access to the best healthcare.
Equal access is not available to the best education,
and public provision of homes is sneeringly described as
"social housing"
Psalm 123:1-2 The Orthodox Study Bible
I lift my eyes to You
Who dwell in heaven
Behold, as the eyes of servants
look to the hands of their masters
As the eyes of the maidservant
look to the hands of her mistress,
So our eyes look to the Lord our God.
People of faith who feel at ease today, may well pray
for those members of their own community....
the one body of Christ......
for many stand urgently in need of this prayer.
