Psalm 69

And why? for thy sake have I suffered reproof *

shame hath covered my face.

I am become a stranger unto my brethren *

even an alien unto my mother’s children.

For the zeal of thine house hath even eaten me *

and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee are fallen upon me.

I wept, and chastened myself with fasting *

and that was turned to my reproof.

Let not the water-flood drown me, neither let the deep swallow me up *

and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

Hear me, O Lord, for thy loving-kindness is comfortable *

turn thee unto me according to the multitude of thy mercies.

And hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in trouble *

O haste thee, and hear me.
