Commentary on Psalms 123:4

Theological / Devotional

At ease. Compare Eze. 16:49; Amos 6:1; Zech. 1:15. Freedom from affliction and a life of comfortable ease are not the soil in which character develops. The Lord permits affliction to come upon His people to wean them away from a life of ease and make them long for their heavenly home. We should thank God for the hand of affliction that lays the pride of man in the dust.
