Behold thou their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their song.
And now I am become their song, Yea, I am a byword unto them.
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou understandest my thought afar off.
But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy, Answer me in the truth of thy salvation.
I am become a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
