PSALMS 69:9-14

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.
