Because for Your sake I have borne reproach;
Shame has covered my face.
(A)I have become a stranger to my brothers,
And an alien to my mother’s children;
(B)Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up,

That became my reproach.

I became a byword to them.
12 Those who [b]sit in the gate speak against me,
And I am the song of the (D)drunkards.
