4They 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.
5O God, you know my foolishness; and my transgressions are not hidden from you.
6Let not them that wait on you, O Lord of hosts, be ashamed on my account: let not them that seek you, be ashamed on my account, O God of Israel.
7For I have suffered reproach for your sake; shame has covered my face.
