Psalms 69:6-7

69:6 Let none who rely on you be disgraced because of me,

O sovereign Lord and king! ¹ 

Let none who seek you be ashamed because of me,

O God of Israel!

69:7 For I suffer ²  humiliation for your sake ³ 

and am thoroughly disgraced. ⁴

[69:7]  ³ tn Heb “on account of you.”

[69:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “and shame covers my face.”
