For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

Verse 9 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.

Ich bin fremd geworden meinen Brüdern und unbekannt meiner Mutter Kindern.
Porque me consumió el celo de tu casa; Y los denuestos de los que te vituperaban, cayeron sobre mí.
Porque el celo por tu casa me consume, y los insultos de quienes te insultan han caído sobre mí.
Car le zèle de ta maison me dévore, Et les outrages de ceux qui t'insultent tombent sur moi.
Perciocchè lo zelo della tua Casa mi ha roso; E i vituperii di quelli che ti fanno vituperio mi caggiono addosso.
Pois o zelo da tua casa me devorou, e as afrontas dos que te afrontam caíram sobre mim.
因我為你的殿心裏焦急,如同火燒, 並且辱罵你的人的辱罵都落在我身上。
