4Those who hate me for no reason are more than the number of hairs on my head. Many enemies try to destroy me by telling lies. How can I give back what I didn't steal?
5God, you know how foolish I am! My sins are not hidden from you.
6Don't let those who trust you be ashamed because of me, Lord God Almighty. Don't let those who follow you be disgraced because of me, God of Israel.
7For your sake I put up with the insults; my face shows my embarrassment.
8I have become a foreigner to my brother Israelites; a stranger to my very own brothers.
