Psalm 69:6-12

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁶ Do not let those who hope in you be put to shame because of me,
    O Lord God of hosts;
do not let those who seek you be dishonored because of me,
    O God of Israel.
⁷ It is for your sake that I have borne reproach,
    that shame has covered my face.^(A)
8 I have become a stranger to my kindred,
    an alien to my mother’s children.^(B)

⁹ It is zeal for your house that has consumed me;
    the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.^(C)
10 When I humbled my soul with fasting,^[a]
    they insulted me for doing so.^(D)
11 When I made sackcloth my clothing,
    I became a byword to them.^(E)
12 I am the subject of gossip for those who sit in the gate,
    and the drunkards make songs about me.^(F)
