⁵ You, God, know my folly;^(A)
    my guilt is not hidden from you.^(B)

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)

¹³ But I pray to you, Lord,
    in the time of your favor;^(M)
in your great love,^(N) O God,
    answer me with your sure salvation.
¹⁴ Rescue me from the mire,
    do not let me sink;
deliver me from those who hate me,
    from the deep waters.^(O)
