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.
8I became strange to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's children.
