I was a mockery to all my people, their song all the day.
For there our captors asked us the words of a song; yea, our plunderers asked joy, saying, Sing to us a song of Zion.
You made us a scorn to our neighbors, a mockery and a derision to those around us.
We have become a shame to our neighbors a scorn and a mockery to those who are around us.
O Jehovah, You have deceived me; yea, I was deceived. You are stronger than I, and You have prevailed. I am a derision all the day; everyone mocks me.
For was not Israel a mockery to you? Was he found among thieves? For ever since you spoke of him, you shook yourself.
Look at their sitting and their rising up. I am their song.
