"When I wept and I fasted, that was to my reproach."
— Psalms 69:10, World English Bible
“When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.”
“When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, That was to my reproach. ”
“I weep and refrain from eating food, which causes others to insult me.”
“My bitter weeping, and my going without food, were turned to my shame.”
“When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.”
Because for your sake, I have borne reproach. Shame has covered my face.
I have become a stranger to my brothers, 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.
When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.
Those who sit in the gate talk about me. I am the song of the drunkards.
But as for me, my prayer is to you, Yahweh, in an acceptable time. God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation.
