⁸ I have become ^(A)estranged ^[a]from my brothers,
And a stranger to my mother’s sons.
⁹ For ^(B)zeal for Your house has consumed me,
And ^(C)the taunts of those who taunt You have fallen on me.
¹⁰ When I wept ^(D)in my soul with fasting,
It became my ^(E)disgrace.
¹¹ When I made ^(F)sackcloth my clothing,
I became ^(G)a proverb to them.
¹² Those who ^(H)sit in the gate talk about me,
And ^(I)songs of mockery by those habitually drunk are about me.

¹³ But as for me, my prayer is to You, Lord, ^(J)at an acceptable time;
God, in the ^(K)greatness of Your mercy,
Answer me with ^[b]Your saving truth.
¹⁴ Rescue me from the ^(L)mud and do not let me sink;
May I be ^(M)rescued from those who hate me, and from the ^(N)depths of water.
¹⁵ May the ^[c](O)flood of water not overflow me
Nor the deep swallow me up,
Nor the ^(P)pit close its mouth on me.

¹⁶ Answer me, Lord, for ^(Q)Your mercy is good;
^(R)According to the greatness of Your compassion, ^(S)turn to me,
¹⁷ And ^(T)do not hide Your face from Your servant,
For I am ^(U)in distress; answer me quickly.

³³ For ^(A)the Lord hears the needy,
And ^(B)does not despise those of His who are prisoners.

^34 (C)Heaven and earth shall praise Him,
The seas and ^(D)everything that moves in them.
³⁵ For God will ^(E)save Zion and ^(F)build the cities of Judah,
So that they may live there and ^(G)possess it.
