Psalms 69:5-12

5O God, you know how foolish I am; my sins cannot be hidden from you.

6Don’t let those who trust in you be ashamed because of me, O Sovereign Lord of Heaven’s Armies. Don’t let me cause them to be humiliated, O God of Israel.

7For I endure insults for your sake; humiliation is written all over my face.

8Even my own brothers pretend they don’t know me; they treat me like a stranger.

9Passion for your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.

10When I weep and fast, they scoff at me.

11When I dress in burlap to show sorrow, they make fun of me.

12I am the favorite topic of town gossip, and all the drunks sing about me.
