4They that hate mee without a cause, are moe then the heares of mine heade: they that would destroy mee, and are mine enemies falsly, are mightie, so that I restored that which I tooke not.
5O God, thou knowest my foolishnesse, and my fautes are not hid from thee.
6Let not them that trust in thee, O Lord God of hostes, be ashamed for me: let not those that seeke thee, be confounded through mee, O God of Israel.
7For thy sake haue I suffred reproofe: shame hath couered my face.
8I am become a stranger vnto my brethren, euen an aliant vnto my mothers sonnes.
9For the zeale of thine house hath eaten mee, and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee, are fallen vpon me.
10I wept and my soule fasted, but that was to my reproofe.
11I put on a sacke also: and I became a prouerbe vnto them.
12They that sate in the gate, spake of mee, and the drunkards sang of me.
13But Lord, I make my praier vnto thee in an acceptable time, euen in the multitude of thy mercie: O God, heare me in the trueth of thy saluation.
