Holy Scripture
Psalms 68:5
A church father on this verse
“What do I mean? If you ever wish to associate with someone, make sure that you do not give your attention to those who enjoy health and wealth and fame as the world sees it, but take care of those in affliction, those in critical circumstances, those in prison, those who are utterly deserted and enjoy no consolation.…”

5They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: My enemies that persecute me unrighteously are strengthened: Then I restored that which I took not away.

In context
3I am stuck fast in deep mire, and there is no standing: I am come in to the depths of the sea, and a storm has overwhelmed me.
4I am weary of crying, my throat has become hoarse; Mine eyes have failed by my waiting on my God.
— Psalms 68:5 —
6O God, thou knowest my foolishness; And my transgressions are not hidden from thee.
7Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord of hosts, be ashamed on my account: let not them that seek thee, be ashamed on my account, O God of Israel.
