Psalm 69 A Plea for Rescue
Do not let those who put their hope in You
be disgraced because of me,
Lord GOD of Hosts; do not let those who seek You
be humiliated because of me, God of Israel.
For I have endured insults because of You,
and shame has covered my face.
I have become a stranger to my brothers
and a foreigner to my mother's sons
because zeal for Your house has consumed me,
and the insults of those who insult You
have fallen on me.
