Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves. Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours - i:e., an object of strife to the petty tribes on Israel's borders, so that they quarrel about the spoils which they have taken from us, availing themselves of the opportunity afforded by the more powerful nations, Assyria and Egypt, which oppress us.
And our enemies laugh among themselves - i:e., make us their laughing-stock.
