8. I have become estranged from my brothers And an alien to my mother's sons.
9. For zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
10. When I wept in my soul with fasting, It became my reproach.
11. When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.
12. Those who sit in the gate talk about me, And I am the song of the drunkards.
13. But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord, at an acceptable time; O God, in the greatness of Your lovingkindness, Answer me with Your saving truth.
14. Deliver me from the mire and do not let me sink; May I be delivered from my foes and from the deep waters.
15. May the flood of water not overflow me Nor the deep swallow me up, Nor the pit shut its mouth on me.
16. Answer me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good; According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me,
17. And do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in distress; answer me quickly.
18. Oh draw near to my soul and redeem it; Ransom me because of my enemies!
19. You know my reproach and my shame and my dishonor; All my adversaries are before You.
20. Reproach has broken my heart and I am so sick. And I looked for sympathy, but there was none, And for comforters, but I found none.
21. They also gave me gall for my food And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22. May their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, may it become a trap.
23. May their eyes grow dim so that they cannot see, And make their loins shake continually.
