Psalms 68:3-9

³I am stuck fast in deep mire, and there is no standing: I am come in to the depths of the sea, and a storm has overwhelmed me.

⁴I am weary of crying, my throat has become hoarse; mine eyes have failed by my waiting on my God.

⁵They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: my enemies that persecute me unrighteously are strengthened: then I restored that which I took not away.

⁶O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my transgressions are not hidden from thee.

⁷Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord of hosts, be ashamed on my account: let not them that seek thee, be ashamed on my account, O God of Israel.

⁸For I have suffered reproach for thy sake; shame has covered my face.

⁹I became strange to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's children.
