Hear

Be gracious to us, O Lord, be gracious to us,

For we are greatly filled with contempt.

Turn

Then David spoke to the men who were standing by him, saying, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should taunt the armies of the living God?”

And return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom

The reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord.

Though He scoffs at the scoffers,
Yet He gives grace to the afflicted.

Ephraim has provoked to bitter anger;

So his Lord will leave his bloodguilt on him
And bring back his reproach to him.

General references

When a wicked man comes, contempt also comes,
And with dishonor comes scorn.

I have become a laughingstock to all my people,
Their mocking song all the day.
