I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.

Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
