⁷ But you give us victory over our foes
and let those who hate us be disgraced.^(A)

¹³ You make us an object of reproach to our neighbors,
a source of mockery and ridicule to those around us.^(A)
14 You make us a joke among the nations,
a laughingstock^[a] among the peoples.^(B)
15 My disgrace is before me all day long,
and shame has covered my face,^(C)
16 because of the taunts^[b] of the scorner and reviler,
because of the enemy and avenger.^(D)

this is the Lord’s declaration—
“and my name is continually blasphemed all day long.^(A)
