Behold thou their sitting down, and their rising up. I am their song.
I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all the day.
Thou know my sitting down and my rising up. Thou understand my thought afar off.
And now I have become their song, Yea, I am a byword to them.
But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O LORD. In an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of thy loving kindness, answer me in the truth of thy salvation.
