Psalms 69:7-13

EJ2000(i) 7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame has covered my face. 8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren and an alien unto my mother’s sons. 9 For the zeal of thy house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those that reproached thee are fallen upon me. 10 When I wept with fasting of my soul, thou hast been a reproach unto me. 11 I made sackcloth also my garment, and I became a proverb to them. 12 They that sat in the gate spoke against me, and I was the song of the drunkards. 13 ¶ But I corrected my prayer unto thee, O LORD, in the time of thy good pleasure; O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy saving health.
