Context of Psalms 69:6
4I am worn out by my crying, my throat is parched, my eyes fail, waiting for my God. 5Those who hate me without a cause outnumber the hairs of my head. Powerful are my enemies who would destroy me with lies. What I did not steal, must I restore? O God, You know my folly, nor are my trespasses hidden from You. 7May those who hope in You not be ashamed because of me, my Lord, Adonai-Tzva’ot. May those who seek You not be disgraced because of me, O God of Israel. 8For I have endured scorn for Your sake. Disgrace has covered my face.
