7 Because of you, people laugh at me. My face is covered with shame.
8 I'm a stranger to my brothers. I'm an outsider to my own mother's sons.
9 My great love for your house destroys me. Those who make fun of you make fun of me also.
10 When I sob and go without eating, they laugh at me.
11 When I put on black clothes to show how sad I am, people make jokes about me.
12 Those who gather in public places make fun of me. Those who get drunk make up songs about me.
13 But Lord, I pray to you. May this be the time you show me your favor. God, answer me because you love me so much. Save me, as you always do.
