Psalms 69:7-12 ▼

7 For I have endured scorn for Your sake, and shame has covered my face.

8 I have become a stranger to my brothers and a foreigner to my mother’s sons,

9 because zeal for Your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult You have fallen on me.

10 I wept and fasted, but it brought me reproach.

11 I made sackcloth my clothing, and I was sport to them.

12 Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of drunkards.
