And an alien unto my mother’s s children, ® For the_zeal_of Thine house *hath_ eaten Me up; And the_reproaches_of them_that_ reproached Thee -are_fallen upon
Me. ' 10 When I wept, and chastened my soul with «fasting, That was to my reproach, 1 T made sackcloth also my.garment ; And I became a proverb to them.
12 They_that_sit in the gate ‘speak against me;
And I was the_song_of the ¢ drunk- ards.
13 But as_for me my prayer zs unto Thee, O_’ LorD, i7 an acceptable time:
O_=God, in the_«? multitude_of Thy ~ mercy «shear me, In the_truth_of Thy. salvation, 14-Deliver me out_of the mire, And ‘et me not sink : tLet_me_be_delivered from them- that_hate me, And out_of the deep waters. 15 'Let not the waterflood overflow
me, Neither ‘let the deep swallow_me-_
up, And ‘let not the pit shut hermouth upon me. : 16 a*Hear me, O_J LorpD: * For Thy lovingkindness is good : -Turn unto me according_to the_ ab multitude_of Thy tender_mer-

mies. 19 Thou shast_known my reproach, And my shame, and my dis- honour : Mine adversaries are all before Thee. 20 Reproach shath_broken my heart ; And I am_full_of_heaviness : And I looked_for some to take_pity, but there was none ; ane aa comforters, ‘but I found
