With our own eyes we saw him do it!”O Lord, you know all about this. Do not stay silent. Do not abandon me now, O Lord.Wake up! Rise to my defense! Take up my case, my God and my Lord.Declare me not guilty, O Lord my God, for you give justice. Don’t let my enemies laugh about me in my troubles.Don’t let them say,“ Look, we got what we wanted! Now we will eat him alive!”

Psalms 69:7-12
For I endure insults for your sake; humiliation is written all over my face.Even my own brothers pretend they don’t know me; they treat me like a stranger.Passion for your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.When I weep and fast, they scoff at me.When I dress in burlap to show sorrow, they make fun of me.I am the favorite topic of town gossip, and all the drunks sing about me.
