7. Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame has covered my face.
8. I am become a stranger unto my brethren and an alien unto my mother’s sons.
9. For the zeal of thy house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
10. When I wept with fasting of my soul, thou hast been a reproach unto me.
11. I made sackcloth also my garment, and I became a proverb to them.
12. They that sat in the gate spoke against me, and I was the song of the drunkards.
13. But I corrected my prayer unto thee, O Lord, in the time of thy good pleasure; O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy saving health.
