8I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.
9For the zeal of thine 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 proverb 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 LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy, 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 her mouth upon me.
16Answer me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: according to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me.
17And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in distress; answer me speedily.
18Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: ransom me because of mine enemies.
19Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
20Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22Let their table before them become a snare; and when they are in peace, let it become a trap.
23Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.
25Let their habitation be desolate; let none dwell in their tents.
26For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded,
27Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
28Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.
29But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31And it shall please the LORD better than an ox, or a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
32The meek have seen it, and are glad: ye that seek after God, let your heart live.
