Context of Psalms 69:6

4Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; Those who would destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies; What I did not steal, I then have to restore. 5O God, it is You who knows my folly, And my wrongs are not hidden from You. May those who wait for You not be ashamed through me, O Lord God of hosts; May those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel, 7Because for Your sake I have borne reproach; Dishonor has covered my face. 8I have become estranged from my brothers And an alien to my mother’s sons.
