I am (A)a laughingstock to my friends;
    I, who (B)called to God and he answered me,
    a just and blameless man, am a laughingstock.
In the thought of one who is (C)at ease there is contempt for misfortune;
    it is ready for those whose feet slip.
(D)The tents of robbers are at peace,
    and those who provoke God are secure,
    who bring their god in their hand.[a]
