Exegesis
The Hebrew verse employs a merism with parallel Niphal participles nivzeh {נִבְזֶ֤ה | nivzeh} ‘despised’ and nimas {נִמְאָ֗ס | nimʾās} ‘rejected’, intensifying moral condemnation.
In context — Psalm 15:4
In whose eyes a vile person is despised , but he honors those who fear the LORD ; he swears to his own harm and does not change.
