8. A stranger I have been to my brother, And a foreigner to sons of my mother.
9. For zeal for Thy house hath consumed me, And the reproaches of Thy reproachers Have fallen upon me.
10. And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.
11. And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am to them for a simile.
12. Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments.
13. And I--my prayer [is] to Thee, O Jehovah, A time of good pleasure, O God, In the abundance of Thy kindness, Answer me in the truth of Thy salvation.
14. Deliver me from the mire, and let me not sink, Let me be delivered from those hating me, And from deep places of waters.
15. Let not a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth upon me.
