7 For it is for your sake that I have borne reproach,that dishonor has covered my face.
8 I have become a stranger to my brothers,an alien to my mother’s sons.
9 For zeal for your house has consumed me,and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.
10 When I wept and humbled my soul with fasting,it became my reproach.
11 When I made sackcloth my clothing,I became a byword to them.
12 I am the talk of those who sit in the gate,and the drunkards make songs about me.
13 But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord.At an acceptable time, O God,in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.
