Psalm 69:6-12

Christian Standard Bible

⁶ Do not let those who put their hope in you
be disgraced because of me,
Lord God of Armies;
do not let those who seek you
be humiliated because of me,
God of Israel.^(A)
7 For I have endured insults because of you,
and shame has covered my face.^(B)
8 I have become a stranger to my brothers
and a foreigner to my mother’s sons^(C)
9 because zeal for your house has consumed me,^(D)
and the insults of those who insult you
have fallen on me.^(E)
10 I mourned and fasted,
but it brought me insults.^(F)
11 I wore sackcloth as my clothing,
and I was a joke to them.
¹² Those who sit at the city gate talk about me,
and drunkards make up songs about me.^(G)
