5. O God, You know my foolishness;And my sins are not hidden from You.
6. Let not those who wait for You, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed because of me;Let not those who seek You be confounded because of me, O God of Israel.
7. Because for Your sake I have borne reproach;Shame has covered my face.
8. I have become a stranger to my brothers,And an alien to my mother’s children;
9. Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up,And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
10. When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting,That became my reproach.
11. I also made sackcloth my garment;I became a byword to them.
12. Those who sit in the gate speak against me,And I am the song of the drunkards.
