Exegesis
The Piel participles meraked u-mesachek {מְרַקֵּד וּמְשַׂחֵק | me-raqqēḏ wə-mə-šaḥēq} ‘dancing and celebrating’ depict continuous praise, and the locative be-libbah {בְּלִבָּהּ | bə-lîbbāh} ‘in her heart’ designates the seat of contempt.
In context — 1 Chronicles 15:29
And it happened, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal, daughter of Saul, looked out through the window and saw King David dancing and celebrating, and she despised him in her heart .
