I became the laughingstock of all my people; they mock me in song all day long.

Look at them! Sitting or standing, they mock me in their songs.

I have become the laughingstock of all my people, the object of their taunts all day long.

Behold their sitting and their rising; I am the object of their taunts.

My own people laugh at me. All day long they sing their mocking songs.

Look at them! Whether they sit or stand, I am the object of their mocking songs.

I am a laughingstock  to all my people,  mocked by their songs  all day long.

When they sit and when they rise, look, I am mocked by their songs.

I was a derision to all my people; And their song all the day.

Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.

I have become the ridicule of all my people— Their taunting song all the day.

Look at their sitting down and their rising up; I am their taunting song.

He shot me in the stomach with arrows from his quiver. Everyone took me for a joke, made me the butt of their mocking ballads. He forced rotten, stinking food down my throat, bloated me with vile drinks.

“You heard, GOD, their vicious gossip, their behind-my-back plots to ruin me. They never quit, these enemies of mine, dreaming up mischief, hatching malice, day after day after day. Sitting down or standing up—just look at them!— they mock me with vulgar doggerel.

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

Look at their sitting and their rising; I am their mocking song.

I have become the [object of] ridicule to all my people, And [the subject of] their mocking song all the day.

Look at their sitting and their rising [their actions and secret counsels]; I am their mocking song [the subject of their ridicule]. [Ps 139:2; Is 37:28]

I have become the laughingstock of all people, their mocking song all day long.

Watch them from morning to evening; I am the object of their mocking songs. ת (Tav)
