Psalm 69:8 · BSB

Psalm 69:8 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 69.

4 Those who hate me without cause outnumber the hairs of my head; many are those who would destroy me—my enemies for no reason. Though I did not steal, I must repay.

5 You know my folly, O God, and my guilt is not hidden from You.

6 May those who hope in You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of Hosts; may those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel.

7 For I have endured scorn for Your sake, and shame has covered my face.

8 I have become a stranger to my brothers and a foreigner to my mother’s sons,

9 because zeal for Your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult You have fallen on me.

10 I wept and fasted, but it brought me reproach.

11 I made sackcloth my clothing, and I was sport to them.

12 Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of drunkards.
