Psalms 69 — Context

O God, you see how foolish I am; and my wrongdoing is clear to you.

Let not those who have hope in you be put to shame because of me, O Lord God of armies: let not those who are waiting for you be made low because of me, O God of Israel.

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.
