Psalms 69:7-9
Psalms 69:7-9 The Message (MSG)
Because of you I look like an idiot, I walk around ashamed to show my face. My brothers shun me like a bum off the street; My family treats me like an unwanted guest. I love you more than I can say. Because I’m madly in love with you, They blame me for everything they dislike about you.
Psalms 69:7-9 King James Version (KJV)
Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; Shame hath covered my face. I am become a stranger unto my brethren, And an alien unto my mother's children. For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; And the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
Psalms 69:7-9 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Because for Your sake I have borne reproach; Dishonor has covered my face. I have become estranged from my brothers And an alien to my mother’s sons. For zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
Psalms 69:7-9 New Century Version (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.
Psalms 69:7-9 American Standard Version (ASV)

Psalms 69:7-9 New King James Version (NKJV)

Psalms 69:7-9 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Because of my love for you, Lord, I have been mocked, cursed, and disgraced. Even my own brothers, those of my family, act as though they don’t want anything to do with me.
