6 God! Thou knowest my folly, and my sins are not hidden from thee.
7 Let not all in me be ashamed, O Lord, God of hosts. Let not those who seek thee in me, O God of Israel, be put to shame;
8 For for thy sake I bear reproach, and with disgrace they cover my face.
9 I have become a stranger to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's sons;
10 For zeal for thy house devours me, and the reproaches of those who curse thee fall upon me;
11 And I weep, fasting in my soul, and these things are reproached to me;
12 And I put on sackcloth instead of a garment, and I become a parable to them.
13 Those who sit at the gate speak of me, and those who drink wine sing in song.
14 But I pray unto thee, O Lord; in the time of pleasure, O God, according to Thy great goodness, hear me in the truth of Thy salvation;
15 Take me out of the slime, that I may not be drowned; that I may be delivered from those who hate me, and from the deep waters;
16 Let not the rush of the waters carry me away, let not the deep swallow me up, let not the gulf of its mouth shut over me.
17 Hear me, O Lord, for thy mercy is good; according to the multitude of Thy mercies, look upon me;
18 Hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am grieved. hear me quickly;
19 draw near to my soul, deliver it; For the sake of my enemies, save me.
20 Thou knowest my reproach, my shame, and my shame: my enemies are all before thee.
21 Reproach has broken my heart, and I am faint, I have waited for compassion, but there is none, comforters, but I do not find.
22 And they gave me gall to eat, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
23 Let their table be a snare for them, and their peaceful banquet a snare;
24 let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and their loins be weakened for ever;
25 Pour out Thy wrath upon them, and let the flame of Thy wrath envelop them.
26 Their dwelling shall be desolate, and there shall be no dwelling in their tents,
