Psalms 123:4

4 Kicked in the teeth by complacent rich men, kicked when we're down by arrogant brutes.

Psalms 123:4 In-Context

1 I look to you, heaven-dwelling God, look up to you for help.
2 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.
3 Mercy, God, mercy! We've been kicked around long enough,
4 Kicked in the teeth by complacent rich men, kicked when we're down by arrogant brutes.
