5. O God, you know my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from you.
6. Let not them that wait on you, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek you be disgraced for my sake, O God of Israel.
7. Because for your sake I have borne reproach; shame has covered my face.
8. I have become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
9. For the zeal of your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me.
