7For because of Thee I have borne reproach, Shame hath covered my face.
8A stranger I have been to my brother, And a foreigner to sons of my mother.
9For zeal for Thy house hath consumed me, And the reproaches of Thy reproachers Have fallen upon me.
10And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.
11And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am to them for a simile.
12Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments.
13And 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.
