9. (10) For kinas Beitcha (zeal for Thy House) hath consumed me; and the cherpot of them that scorned Thee are fallen upon me [Yn 2:17].
10. (11) When I wept, and chastened my nefesh in the tzom (fast), that became my cherpot (reproaches).
11. (12) I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a mashal (byword) to them.
12. (13) They that sit [as judges] in the sha'ar (gate) speak against me; and I was the neginot (drinking songs) of the drunkards.
13. (14) But as for me, may my tefillah be unto Thee, Hashem, in an et ratzon (acceptable time, time of favor); O Elohim, in the multitude of Thy chesed hear me, in the emes of Thy salvation.
14. (15) Save me out of the teet (mire, clay, soil) and let me not sink; let me be saved from them that hate me, and out of the depths of the mayim.
