Psalm 69:7-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 It is for your sake that I have borne reproach,
that shame has covered my face.(A)
8 I have become a stranger to my kindred,
an alien to my mother’s children.(B)
9 It is zeal for your house that has consumed me;
the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.(C)
10 When I humbled my soul with fasting,[a]
they insulted me for doing so.(D)
11 When I made sackcloth my clothing,
I became a byword to them.(E)
12 I am the subject of gossip for those who sit in the gate,
and the drunkards make songs about me.(F)
