6 Let not them for my sake be shamed, O Lord of Hosts, that wait on thee; Nor those that seek thee, Israel's God, For my own cause confounded be.
6 Let not them for my sake be sham'd, O Lord of Hosts, that wait on thee; Nor those that seek thee, Israel's God, For my own cause confounded be.
7 For thy sake I have born reproach, And shame hath covered my face;
8 I to my brethren strange am grown, An Alien to my mother's race.
9 Because the zeal did eat me up Which to thy sacred house I bear, And the reproaches cast on thee, Upon me fallen for thy cause are.
