Psalms 69:7-16

⁷Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; Shame hath covered my face.

⁸I am become a stranger unto my brethren, And an alien unto my mother’s children.

⁹For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up; And the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me.

¹⁰When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, That was to my reproach.

¹¹When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword unto them.

¹²They that sit in the gate talk of me; And I am the song of the drunkards.

¹³But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness, Answer me in the truth of thy salvation.

¹⁴Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

¹⁵Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, Neither let the deep swallow me up; And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

¹⁶Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy lovingkindness is good: According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me.
