Psalms 69:7-17

⁷For because of Thee I have borne reproach, Shame hath covered my face.

⁸A stranger I have been to my brother, And a foreigner to sons of my mother.

⁹For zeal for Thy house hath consumed me, And the reproaches of Thy reproachers Have fallen upon me.

¹⁰And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.

¹¹And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am to them for a simile.

¹²Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments.

¹³And I — my prayer is to Thee, O Jehovah, A time of good pleasure, O God, In the abundance of Thy kindness, Answer me in the truth of Thy salvation.

¹⁴Deliver me from the mire, and let me not sink, Let me be delivered from those hating me, And from deep places of waters.

¹⁵Let not a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth upon me.

¹⁶Answer me, O Jehovah, for good is Thy kindness, According to the abundance Of Thy mercies turn Thou unto me,

¹⁷And hide not Thy face from Thy servant, For I am in distress — haste, answer me.
