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.
13. O Lord, may you hear my prayer and be favorably disposed to me!O God, because of your great loyal love, answer me with your faithful deliverance!
