Psalm 69:8-19 (King James Version)

 ⁸I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
 ⁹For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
 ¹⁰When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
 ¹¹I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
 ¹²They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
 ¹³But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
 ¹⁴Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
 ¹⁵Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
 ¹⁶Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
 ¹⁷And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
 ¹⁸Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
 ¹⁹Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
