4Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs on my head; those who would cut me off, being my enemies for wrong reasons, are mighty; what I did not steal, I have to give back.
5God, you know my foolishness, and my sins are not hidden from you.
6Let not those who hope in you be put to shame because of me, Lord Yahweh of hosts; let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor because of me, God of Israel.
7For your sake I have borne rebuke; shame has covered my face.
8I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother's children.
