Context of Psalms 69:6

4Those who hate me without cause are more numerous than the hairs of my head; my deceitful enemies, who would destroy me, are powerful. Though I did not steal, I must repay. 5God, you know my foolishness, and my guilty acts are not hidden from you. Do not let those who put their hope in you be disgraced because of me, Lord God of Armies; do not let those who seek you be humiliated because of me, God of Israel. 7For I have endured insults because of you, and shame has covered my face. 8I have become a stranger to my brothers and a foreigner to my mother’s sons
