Context of Psalms 69:7
5O God, it is You who knows my folly, And my wrongs are not hidden from You. 6May 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, Because 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. 9For zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
