Psalm 35:12-14

Easy-to-Read Version

¹² They pay me back evil for the good I have done.
    They make me so very sad.
¹³ When they were sick, I was sad and wore sackcloth.
    I went without eating to show my sorrow.
    (May my prayers for them not be answered!)
¹⁴ I mourned for them as I would for a friend or a brother.
    I bowed low with sadness, crying as I would for my own mother.
