⁷ because for Thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

⁸ I have become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.

⁹ For the zeal for Thine house hath eaten me up, and the reproaches of them that reproached Thee have fallen upon me.

¹⁰ When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting, that was turned to my reproach.

¹⁶ Hear me, O Lord, for Thy lovingkindness is good; turn unto me according to the multitude of Thy tender mercies.

¹⁷ And hide not Thy face from Thy servant, for I am in trouble; hear me speedily.

¹⁸ Draw nigh unto my soul and redeem it; deliver me because of mine enemies.
