Psalms 69:7-12, 26

Psalms 69:7-12 NCV

For you, I carry this shame, and my face is covered with disgrace. I am like a stranger to my closest relatives and a foreigner to my mother’s children. My strong love for your Temple completely controls me. When people insult you, it hurts me. When I cry and fast, they make fun of me. When I wear clothes of sadness, they joke about me. They make fun of me in public places, and the drunkards make up songs about me.

Psalms 69:26 NCV

They chase after those you have hurt, and they talk about the pain of those you have wounded.
