Suffering Reproach for God's Sake

Psalms 69:7-12

For because of Thee I have borne reproach, Shame hath covered my face.

A stranger I have been to my brother, And a foreigner to sons of my mother.

For zeal for Thy house hath consumed me, And the reproaches of Thy reproachers Have fallen upon me.

And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.

And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am to them for a simile.

Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments.
