Psalms 69:9
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,
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.
