Psalms 68:8-15

⁸Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

⁹I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to the sons of my mother.

¹⁰For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up: and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

¹¹And I covered my soul in fasting: and it was made a reproach to me.

¹²And I made haircloth my garment: and I became a byword to them.

¹³They that sat in the gate spoke against me: and they that drank wine made me their song.

¹⁴But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O Lord; for the time of thy good pleasure, O God. In the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

¹⁵Draw me out of the mire, that I may not stick fast: deliver me from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
