Psalms 69:5-12

5O God, You know my foolishness; And my sins are not hidden from You.

6Let not those who wait for You, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed because of me; Let not those who seek You be confounded because of me, O God of Israel.

7Because for Your sake I have borne reproach; Shame has covered my face.

8I have become a stranger to my brothers, And an alien to my mother’s children;

9Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up, And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.

10When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting, That became my reproach.

11I also made sackcloth my garment; I became a byword to them.

12Those who sit in the gate speak against me, And I am the song of the drunkards.
