Psalm 69:7-12

Expanded Bible

⁷ For you, I carry this ·shame [reproach; scorn],
    and my face is covered with disgrace.
⁸ I am like a stranger to my closest relatives
    and a foreigner to my mother’s children.
⁹ My ·strong love [jealousy; passion; zeal] for your ·Temple [^Lhouse] ·completely controls [^Lconsumes] me [John 2:17].
    ·When people insult you, it hurts me [^LThe reproaches/scorn of those who reproach/scorn you fall on me; Rom. 15:3].
¹⁰ When I ·cry [weep] and fast,
    they ·make fun of [reproach; scorn] me.
¹¹ When I wear ·rough cloth [sackcloth; burlap; ^Ca sign of grief],
    ·they joke about me [^LI am a byword/proverb/joke to them].
¹² ·They make fun of me in public places [^LThose who sit in the gate complain about me],
    and the drunkards make up songs about me.
