Context of Psalms 69:6
4They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away. 5Thou, O God, knowest my foolishness, and my trespasses are not hidden from thee. Let not them that wait on thee, Lord, Jehovah of hosts, be ashamed through me; let not those that seek thee be confounded through me, O God of Israel. 7Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; confusion hath covered my face. 8I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's sons;
