And now I have become their song, Yea, I am a byword to them.
Behold thou their sitting down, and their rising up. I am their song.
But he has made me a byword of the people, and they spit in my face.
I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all the day.
Thou make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
I am as a man who is a laughing-stock to his neighbor. I who called upon God, and he answered. The just, the perfect man is a laughing-stock.
[They are] sons of fools, yea, sons of base men. They were scourged out of the land.
All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
O LORD, thou have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. Thou are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughing-stock all the day; everyone mocks me.
