They open their mouths against me

and strike my cheeks with contempt;

they join themselves together against me.

and would use my disgrace as evidence against me,

who does not slander with his tongue,

who does not harm his friend

or discredit his neighbor,

But I am a worm and not a man,

scorned by mankind and despised by people.

I am ridiculed by all my adversaries

and even by my neighbors.

I am dreaded by my acquaintances;

those who see me in the street run from me.

“Rescue me from all my transgressions;

do not make me the taunt of fools.

You make us an object of reproach to our neighbors,

a source of mockery and ridicule to those around us.

For I have endured insults because of you,

and shame has covered my face.

because zeal for your house has consumed me,

and the insults of those who insult you

have fallen on me.

You know the insults I endure —

my shame and disgrace.

You are aware of all my adversaries.

May my adversaries be disgraced and destroyed;

may those who intend to harm me

be covered with disgrace and humiliation.

Rise up, God, champion your cause!

Remember the insults

that fools bring against you all day long.

He beat back his foes;

he gave them lasting disgrace.

a source of mockery and ridicule

to his neighbors.

Remember, Lord, the ridicule against your servants —

in my heart I carry abuse from all the peoples —

Take insult and contempt away from me,

for I have kept your decrees.

Turn away the disgrace I dread;

indeed, your judgments are good.

He will get a beating[fn] and dishonor,

and his disgrace will never be removed.

When he has swallowed up death once and for all,

the Lord GOD will wipe away the tears

from every face

and remove his people’s disgrace

from the whole earth,

because of a people who can’t help.

they are good for nothing but shame and disgrace.

“Your nakedness will be uncovered,

and your disgrace will be exposed.

I will take vengeance;

I will spare no one.”[fn]

the people in whose heart is my instruction:

do not fear disgrace by men,

and do not be shattered by their taunts.

“Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame;

don’t be humiliated, for you will not be disgraced.

For you will forget the shame of your youth,

and you will no longer remember

the disgrace of your widowhood.

Who can I speak to and give such a warning[fn]

that they will listen?

Look, their ear is uncircumcised,[fn]

so they cannot pay attention.

See, the word of the LORD has become contemptible to them —

they find no pleasure in it.

You know, LORD;

remember me and take note of me.

Avenge me against my persecutors.

In your patience,[fn] don’t take me away.

Know that I suffer disgrace for your honor.

For whenever I speak, I cry out,

I proclaim, “Violence and destruction! ”

so the word of the LORD has become my

constant disgrace and derision.

“You are angering me by the work of your hands. You are burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have gone to stay for a while. As a result, you will be cut off and become an example for cursing and insult among all the nations of earth.
