Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.

My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.

Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.

Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.

And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
