Psalms 69:7 in context

Psalms 69:4–10

4

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head.

Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty.

I have to restore what I didn’t take away.

5

God, you know my foolishness.

My sins aren’t hidden from you.

6

Don’t let those who wait for you be shamed through me, Lord GOD of Armies.

Don’t let those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me, God of Israel.

7
Selected verse

an alien to my mother’s children.

For the zeal of your house consumes me.

The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.

When I wept and I fasted,

that was to my reproach.
