Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 69 of Psalms. Psalm 69 combines an extreme plea arising from persecution with a confession of zeal for God’s house. Deep waters and mud represent a situation in which the psalmist feels he is sinking without being able to escape. Suffering intensifies because enemies attack him unjustly. After asking for justice and deliverance, the prayer ends in praise and hope for Zion and for those who seek God.

Laß nicht zu Schanden werden an mir, die dein harren, Herr, HERR Zebaoth! Laß nicht schamrot werden an mir, die dich suchen, Gott Israels!
Porque por amor de ti he sufrido afrenta; Confusión ha cubierto mi rostro.
Porque por ti he soportado insultos, y la vergüenza ha cubierto mi rostro.
Car c'est pour toi que je porte l'opprobre, Que la honte couvre mon visage;
Perciocchè per l’amor di te io soffro vituperio; Vergogna mi ha coperta la faccia.
Porque por amor de ti tenho suportado afrontas; a confusão cobriu o meu rosto.
因我為你的緣故受了辱罵, 滿面羞愧。
