Psalms 69 — Context

I have been wounded with sharp words because of you; my face has been covered with shame.

I have become strange to my brothers, and like a man from a far country to my mother's children.

I am on fire with passion for your house; and the hard things which are said about you have come on me.

My bitter weeping, and my going without food, were turned to my shame.

When I put on the clothing of grief, they said evil of me.

I am a cause of wonder to those in authority; a song to those who are given to strong drink.

But as for me, let my prayer be made to you, O Lord, at a time when you are pleased; O God, give me an answer in your great mercy, for your salvation is certain.
