6 Let none who rely on you be disgraced because of me,O sovereign Lord and king!Let none who seek you be ashamed because of me,O God of Israel!
7 For I suffer humiliation for your sakeand am thoroughly disgraced.
8 My own brothers treat me like a stranger;they act as if I were a foreigner.
9 Certainly zeal for your house consumes me;I endure the insults of those who insult you.
10 I weep and refrain from eating food,which causes others to insult me.
11 I wear sackclothand they ridicule me.
12 Those who sit at the city gate gossip about me;drunkards mock me in their songs.
