Psalms 69:7

ShameSufferingFaith

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.

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.
