4 There are more peoplewho hate me for no reasonthan there are hairson my head.Many terrible enemieswant to destroy me, God.Am I supposed to give backsomething I didn't steal?
5 You know my foolish sins.Not one is hidden from you.
6 Lord God All-Powerful,ruler of Israel,don't let me embarrass anyonewho trusts and worships you.
7 It is for your sake alonethat I am insultedand blush with shame.
8 I am like a strangerto my relativesand like a foreignerto my own family.
9 My love for your houseburns in me like a fire,and when others insult you,they insulted me as well.
10 I cried and went without food,but they still insulted me.
