“And now they mock me in song; I am a byword to them.
I am a laughingstock to my friends; I, who called upon God and he answered me, a just and blameless man, I am a laughingstock.
“He has made me a byword of the peoples, and I am one before whom people spit.
A senseless, disreputable brood, they have been whipped out of the land.
You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.
O Lord, you have enticed me, and I was enticed; you have overpowered me, and you have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day long; everyone mocks me.
I have become the laughingstock of all my people, the object of their taunt songs all day long.
All our enemies have opened their mouths against us;
Whether they sit or rise—see, I am the object of their taunt songs.
