Psalm 69:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 For it is on your account I bear insult,
that disgrace covers my face.(A)
9 I have become an outcast to my kindred,
a stranger to my mother’s children.(B)
10 Because zeal for your house has consumed me,[a]
I am scorned by those who scorn you.(C)
Psalm 69:21-22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
21 Insult has broken my heart, and I despair;
I looked for compassion, but there was none,(A)
for comforters, but found none.
22 Instead they gave me poison for my food;
and for my thirst they gave me vinegar.(B)
Psalm 69:31

and glorify it with thanksgiving.
