7 For you, I carry this shame,and my face is covered with disgrace.
8 I am like a stranger to my closest relativesand a foreigner to my mother’s children.
9 My strong love for your Temple completely controls me.When people insult you, it hurts me.
10 When I cry and fast,they make fun of me.
11 When I wear clothes of sadness,they joke about me.
12 They make fun of me in public places,and the drunkards make up songs about me.
13 But I pray to you, Lord, for favor.God, because of your great love, answer me.You are truly able to save.
