Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt.

Lord, have mercy on us. Have mercy on us, because people haven’t stopped making fun of us.

Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt.

Show us favor, LORD, show us favor, for we’ve had more than enough contempt.

Be gracious to us, Lord, be gracious to us, For we have had much more than enough of contempt.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us! For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer:‘ I thank you, God, that I am not like other people— cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I’m certainly not like that tax collector!I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’“ But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying,‘ O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.’

Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy! I look to you for protection. I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings until the danger passes by.

saying in front of his friends and the Samarian army officers,“ What does this bunch of poor, feeble Jews think they’re doing? Do they think they can build the wall in a single day by just offering a few sacrifices? Do they actually think they can make something of stones from a rubbish heap— and charred ones at that?”Tobiah the Ammonite, who was standing beside him, remarked,“ That stone wall would collapse if even a fox walked along the top of it!”Then I prayed,“ Hear us, our God, for we are being mocked. May their scoffing fall back on their own heads, and may they themselves become captives in a foreign land!

He was despised and rejected— a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care.

Consider, Lord, how your servants are disgraced! I carry in my heart the insults of so many people.Your enemies have mocked me, O Lord; they mock your anointed king wherever he goes.

The crowd watched and the leaders scoffed.“ He saved others,” they said,“ let him save himself if he is really God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.”

But I keep praying to you, Lord, hoping this time you will show me favor. In your unfailing love, O God, answer my prayer with your sure salvation.Rescue me from the mud; don’t let me sink any deeper! Save me from those who hate me, and pull me from these deep waters.Don’t let the floods overwhelm me, or the deep waters swallow me, or the pit of death devour me.Answer my prayers, O Lord, for your unfailing love is wonderful. Take care of me, for your mercy is so plentiful.

You let our neighbors mock us. We are an object of scorn and derision to those around us.You have made us the butt of their jokes; they shake their heads at us in scorn.We can’t escape the constant humiliation; shame is written across our faces.All we hear are the taunts of our mockers. All we see are our vengeful enemies.

Answer me when I call to you, O God who declares me innocent. Free me from my troubles. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

O God, have mercy on me, for people are hounding me. My foes attack me all day long.I am constantly hounded by those who slander me, and many are boldly attacking me.

The Pharisees, who dearly loved their money, heard all this and scoffed at him.
