Psalms 35:19-25
Don’t let those who are my enemies without any reason laugh at me and make fun of me. Don’t let those who hate me without any reason wink at me with an evil purpose.They don’t speak words of peace. They make up false charges against those who live quietly in the land.They make fun of me. They say,“ With our own eyes we have seen what you did.”Lord, you have seen this. Don’t be silent. Lord, don’t be far away from me.Wake up! Rise up to help me! My God and Lord, stand up for me.Lord my God, when you hand down your sentence, let it be in my favor. You always do what is right. Don’t let my enemies have the joy of seeing me fall.Don’t let them think,“ That’s exactly what we wanted!” Don’t let them say,“ We have swallowed him up.”

Psalms 69:7-12
Because of you, people laugh at me. My face is covered with shame.I’m an outsider to my own family. I’m a stranger to my own mother’s children.My great love for your house destroys me. Those who make fun of you make fun of me also.When I weep and go without eating, they laugh at me.When I put on rough clothing to show how sad I am, people make jokes about me.Those who gather in public places make fun of me. Those who get drunk make up songs about me.
