Psalm 69:5-7
New English Translation
5 O God, you are aware of my foolish sins;[a]
my guilt is not hidden from you.[b]
6 Let none who rely on you be disgraced because of me,
O Sovereign Lord of Heaven’s Armies.[c]
Let none who seek you be ashamed because of me,
O God of Israel.
7 For I suffer[d] humiliation for your sake[e]
and am thoroughly disgraced.[f]
