⁹ “And now they mock me with vulgar songs!
    They taunt me!

⁶³ Look at them! Whether they sit or stand,
    I am the object of their mocking songs.

⁶ “God has made a mockery of me among the people;
    they spit in my face.

¹⁴ My own people laugh at me.
    All day long they sing their mocking songs.

¹¹ When I dress in burlap to show sorrow,
    they make fun of me.
¹² I am the favorite topic of town gossip,
    and all the drunks sing about me.

¹⁴ You have made us the butt of their jokes;
    they shake their heads at us in scorn.

¹⁵ But they are glad now that I am in trouble;
    they gleefully join together against me.
I am attacked by people I don’t even know;
    they slander me constantly.
¹⁶ They mock me and call me names;
    they snarl at me.

⁴ Yet my friends laugh at me,
    for I call on God and expect an answer.
I am a just and blameless man,
    yet they laugh at me.
