7. Because for Your sake I have borne reproach; Dishonor has covered my face.
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.
