Context of Psalms 69:6

4Those who hate me without cause are more numerous than the hairs of my head. Those who want to destroy me, my enemies for no reason, outnumber me. They make me repay what I did not steal! 5O God, you are aware of my foolish sins; my guilt is not hidden from you. Let none who rely on you be disgraced because of me, O sovereign Lord and king! Let none who seek you be ashamed because of me, O God of Israel! 7For I suffer humiliation for your sake and am thoroughly disgraced. 8My own brothers treat me like a stranger; they act as if I were a foreigner.
