Psalms 69:9-13 Good News Bible (GNB)

9. My devotion to your Temple burns in me like a fire;the insults which are hurled at you fall on me.

10. I humble myself by fasting,and people insult me;

11. I dress myself in clothes of mourning,and they laugh at me.

12. They talk about me in the streets,and drunkards make up songs about me.

13. But as for me, I will pray to you, Lord;answer me, God, at a time you choose.Answer me because of your great love,because you keep your promise to save.
