8 I have become aestranged from my brothers
And a foreigner to my mother’s sons.
9 For azeal for Your house has consumed me,
And bthe reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
10 When I wept ain my soul with fasting,
It became my reproach.
11 When I made asackcloth my clothing,
I became ba byword to them.
12 Those who adwell at the gate moan about me,
And I am bthe drunkards’ songs.
13 But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Yahweh, aat an acceptable time;
O God, in the babundance of Your lovingkindness,
Answer me with the truth of Your salvation.
14 Deliver me from the amire and do not let me sink;
May I be bdelivered from my foes and from the adeep waters.
15 May the aflood of water not overflow me
Nor the deep swallow me up,
Nor the bpit shut its mouth on me.
16 Answer me, O Yahweh, for aYour lovingkindness is good;
bAccording to the abundance of Your compassion, cturn to me,
17 And ado not hide Your face from Your slave,
For I am bin distress; answer me quickly.
18 Oh draw near to my soul and aredeem it;
bRansom me because of my enemies!
19 You know my areproach and my shame and my dishonor;
All my adversaries are before You.
20 Reproach has abroken my heart and I am so sick.
And bI hoped for sympathy, but there was none,
And for ccomforters, but I found none.
21 They also gave me agall for my food
And for my thirst they bgave me vinegar to drink.
22 May atheir table before them become a snare;
And bwhen they are in peace, may it become a trap.
23 May their aeyes darken so that they cannot see,
And make their bloins quake continually.
24 aPour out Your indignation on them,
And may Your burning anger overtake them.
25 May their acamp be desolate;
May none dwell in their tents.
26 For they have apersecuted him whom bYou Yourself have struck down,
And they recount the pain of those whom cYou have wounded.
27 Add ainiquity to their iniquity,
And bmay they not come into cYour righteousness.
28 May they be ablotted out of the bbook of life
And may they not be crecorded with the righteous.
