A by-word also thou dost us among the heathen make; The people, in contempt and spite, at us their heads do shake.
I also am a vile reproach unto them made to be; And they that did upon me look did shake their heads at me.
All that me see laugh me to scorn; shoot out the lip do they; They nod and shake their heads at me, and, mocking, thus do say,
Unto our neighbours a reproach most base become are we; A scorn and laughingstock to them that round about us be.
O Lord, be gracious to us, unto us gracious be; Because replenish'd with contempt exceedingly are we.
