⁵⁰ Keep in mind, O Lord, the shame of your servants, and how the bitter words of all the people have come into my heart;

¹⁸ Keep this in mind, O Lord, that your haters have said cruel things, and that your name has been looked down on by a people of evil behaviour.

²² Up! O God, be the judge of your cause; keep in mind the bitter things which the man of evil behaviour says against you every day.

⁹ I am on fire with passion for your house; and the hard things which are said about you have come on me.

¹³ You have made us to be looked down on by our neighbours, we are laughed at and shamed by those who are round about us.

¹⁴ Our name is a word of shame among the nations, a sign for the shaking of heads among the peoples.

¹⁵ My downfall is ever before me, and I am covered with the shame of my face;

¹⁶ Because of the voice of him who says sharp and bitter words; because of the hater and him who is the instrument of punishment.

¹⁹ You have seen my shame, how I was laughed at and made low; my haters are all before you.

²⁰ My heart is broken by bitter words, I am full of grief; I made a search for some to have pity on me, but there was no one; I had no comforter.

¹⁰ Why may the nations say, Where is their God? Let payment for the blood of your servants be made openly among the nations before our eyes.

¹¹ Let the cry of the prisoner come before you; with your strong arm make free the children of death;

¹² And give punishment seven times over into the breast of our neighbours for the bitter words which they have said against you, O Lord.

³ For Christ did not give pleasure to himself, but, as it is said, The bitter words of those who were angry with you came on me.
