5 O God, Thou -- Thou hast known Concerning my overturn, And  my desolations from Thee have not been hid.
         
                                
                        6 Let not those waiting on Thee be ashamed because of me, O  Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Let not those seeking Thee Blush  because of me, O God of Israel.
         
                                
                        7 For because of Thee I have borne reproach, Shame hath  covered my face.
         
                                
                        8 A stranger I have been to my brother, And a foreigner to  sons of my mother.
         
                                
                        9 For zeal for Thy house hath consumed me, And the reproaches  of Thy reproachers Have fallen upon me.
         
                                
                        10 And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a  reproach to me.
         
                                
                        11 And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am to them for a  simile.
