"Those who sit in the gate talk about me. I am the song of the drunkards."
— Psalms 69:12, World English Bible
“They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.”
“They that sit in the gate talk of me; AndI amthe song of the drunkards. ”
“Those who sit at the city gate gossip about me; drunkards mock me in their songs.”
“I am a cause of wonder to those in authority; a song to those who are given to strong drink.”
“They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.”
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.
Deliver me out of the mire, and don't let me sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.
Don't let the flood waters overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up. Don't let the pit shut its mouth on me.
