5 O God, you know my stupidity,and the things of which I am guilty are not hidden from you.
6 Do not let those who wait with hope for yoube put to shame because of me, O Almighty Lord of Armies.Do not let those who come to you for helpbe humiliated because of me, O God of Israel.
7 Indeed, for your sake I have endured insults.Humiliation has covered my face.
8 I have become a stranger to my ⌊own⌋ brothers,a foreigner to my mother’s sons.
9 Indeed, devotion for your house has consumed me,and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.
10 I cried and fasted, but I was insulted for it.
11 I dressed myself in sackcloth, but I became the object of ridicule.
