Very many people hate me with no good reason.
    They are more than the number of hairs on my head!
My enemies are too strong for me.
    They want to destroy me with their lies.
They make me give back to them
    things that I did not take from them!
You know, God, that I do foolish things.
    I cannot hide my sins from you.
My Lord, Almighty Lord, Israel's God,
    do not let anyone who trusts you
    become ashamed because of me.
Do not let anyone who serves you
    become ashamed because of me.

Those who hate me(A) without reason(B)
    outnumber the hairs of my head;
many are my enemies without cause,(C)
    those who seek to destroy me.(D)
I am forced to restore
    what I did not steal.

You, God, know my folly;(E)
    my guilt is not hidden from you.(F)

Lord, the Lord Almighty,
    may those who hope in you
    not be disgraced because of me;
God of Israel,
    may those who seek you
    not be put to shame because of me.
