Context of Psalms 69:8
6Let not them that wait for thee be put to shame through me, O Lord Jehovah of hosts: Let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel. 7Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; Shame hath covered my face. I 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.
