¹⁵ He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

⁶ "But he has made me a byword of the people. They spit in my face.

² Surely there are mockers with me, My eye dwells on their provocation.

¹⁰ They have gaped on me with their mouth; They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.

²⁹ Please return. Let there be no injustice; Yes, return again, my cause is righteous.
