5Those who have hate for me without cause are greater in number than the hairs of my head; those who are against me, falsely desiring my destruction, are very strong; I gave back what I had not taken away.
6O God, you see how foolish I am; and my wrongdoing is clear to you.
7Let 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.
8I have been wounded with sharp words because of you; my face has been covered with shame.
9I have become strange to my brothers, and like a man from a far country to my mother's children.
10I am on fire with passion for your house; and the hard things which are said about you have come on me.
11My bitter weeping, and my going without food, were turned to my shame.
