Psalm 69:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ Lord, you are the Lord who rules over all.
    May those who put their hope in you not be dishonored because of me.
You are the God of Israel.
    May those who worship you not be put to shame because of me.
⁷ Because of you, people laugh at me.
    My face is covered with shame.
⁸ I’m an outsider to my own family.
    I’m a stranger to my own mother’s children.
