4 Those who hate me without any cause ♦︎
are more than the hairs of my head;
5 Those who would destroy me are mighty; ♦︎
my enemies accuse me falsely:
must I now give back what I never stole?
6 O God, you know my foolishness, ♦︎
and my faults are not hidden from you.
7 Let not those who hope in you
be put to shame through me, Lord God of hosts; ♦︎
let not those who seek you be disgraced because of me,
O God of Israel.
8 For your sake have I suffered reproach; ♦︎
shame has covered my face.
9 I have become a stranger to my kindred, ♦︎
an alien to my mothers children.
10 Zeal for your house has eaten me up; ♦︎
the scorn of those who scorn you has fallen upon me.
