Psalm 69:5-14
Good News Translation
5 My sins, O God, are not hidden from you;
you know how foolish I have been.
6 Don't let me bring shame on those who trust in you,
Sovereign Lord Almighty!
Don't let me bring disgrace to those who worship you,
O God of Israel!
7 It is for your sake that I have been insulted
and that I am covered with shame.
8 I am like a stranger to my relatives,
like a foreigner to my family.
9 (A)My devotion to your Temple burns in me like a fire;
the insults which are hurled at you fall on me.
10 I humble myself[a] by fasting,
and people insult me;
11 I dress myself in clothes of mourning,
and they laugh at me.
12 They talk about me in the streets,
and drunkards make up songs about me.
13 But as for me, I will pray to you, Lord;
answer me, God, at a time you choose.
Answer me because of your great love,
because you keep your promise to save.
14 Save me from sinking in the mud;
keep me safe from my enemies,
safe from the deep water.

New International Version
6 Lord, the Lord Almighty,
may those who hope in you
not be disgraced because of me;
God of Israel,
may those who seek you
not be put to shame because of me.
7 For I endure scorn(C) for your sake,(D)
and shame covers my face.(E)
8 I am a foreigner to my own family,
a stranger to my own mother’s children;(F)
9 for zeal for your house consumes me,(G)
and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.(H)
10 When I weep and fast,(I)
I must endure scorn;
11 when I put on sackcloth,(J)
people make sport of me.
12 Those who sit at the gate(K) mock me,
and I am the song of the drunkards.(L)
