Psalms 69:4-8 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

4. There are more people who hate me for no reasonthan hairs on my head.Those who want to destroy me are powerful.My enemies are liars.They make me pay backwhat I did not steal.

5. God, you know what I have done wrong.I cannot hide my guilt from you.

6. Master, the Lord of heaven’s armies,do not let those who hope in you be ashamed because of me.God of Israel,do not let your worshipersbe disgraced because of me.

7. For you, I carry this shame.My face is covered with disgrace.

8. I am like a stranger to my brothers.I am like a foreigner to my mother’s sons.
