Psalms 69:7-17

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.

¹⁴Deliuer mee out of the myre, that I sinke not: let me be deliuered from them that hate me, and out of the deepe waters.

¹⁵Let not the water flood drowne mee, neither let the deepe swallowe me vp: and let not the pit shut her mouth vpon me.

¹⁶Heare me, O Lord, for thy louing kindnes is good: turne vnto me according to ye multitude of thy tender mercies.

¹⁷And hide not thy face from thy seruant, for I am in trouble: make haste and heare me.
