Psalms 69:5-11

⁵O God! thou knowest my offences, And my sins are not hidden from thee!

⁶Let not them that trust in thee through me be put to shame, O Lord Jehovah, God of hosts! Let not them that seek thee through me be confounded, O God of Israel!

⁷For on account of thee do I suffer reproach, And shame covereth my face!

⁸I am become a stranger to my brothers; Yea, an alien to my mother's sons.

⁹For zeal for thy house consumeth me, And the reproaches of them that reproach thee fall upon me.

¹⁰When I weep and fast, That is made my reproach;

¹¹When I clothe myself in sackcloth, Then I become their by-word.
