⁷ May those who hope in You
    not be ashamed because of me,
    my Lord, Adonai-Tzva’ot.
May those who seek You
    not be disgraced because of me,
    O God of Israel.
⁸ For I have endured scorn for Your sake.
Disgrace has covered my face.
⁹ I have become a stranger to my brothers,
a foreigner to my mother’s children.
