Context of Psalms 69:8
6O 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. For I have endured scorn for Your sake. Disgrace has covered my face. 9I have become a stranger to my brothers, a foreigner to my mother’s children. 10For zeal for Your House consumed me— the insults of those who insulted You have fallen on me.
