6. My Lord GOD All-Powerful, don’t let me embarrass your followers. God of Israel, don’t let me bring disgrace to those who worship you.
7. My face is covered with shame. I carry this shame for you.
8. My own brothers treat me like a stranger. They act as if I came from a foreign land.

11. When I wear sackcloth to show my sorrow, they tell jokes about me.
