3 I am worn out from calling for help,and my throat is aching.I have strained my eyes,looking for your help.
4 Those who hate me for no reasonare more numerous than the hairs of my head.My enemies tell lies against me;they are strong and want to kill me.They made me give back things I did not steal.
5 My sins, O God, are not hidden from you;you know how foolish I have been.
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.
