6 Don't let me bring shame on those who trust in you,Sovereign Lord Almighty!Don't let me bring disgrace to those who worship you,O God of Israel!
7 It is for your sake that I have been insultedand that I am covered with shame.
8 I am like a stranger to my relatives,like a foreigner to my family.
9 My devotion to your Temple burns in me like a fire;the insults which are hurled at you fall on me.
10 I humble myself by fasting,and people insult me;
11 I dress myself in clothes of mourning,and they laugh at me.
12 They talk about me in the streets,and drunkards make up songs about me.
