Psalm 35:11-16

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹¹ Malicious witnesses come forward;
they question me about things I do not know.^(A)
12 They repay me evil for good,
making me desolate.^(B)
13 Yet when they were ill,
my clothing was sackcloth;
I humbled myself with fasting,
and my prayer was genuine.^[a](C)
14 I went about mourning as if for my friend or brother;
I was bowed down with grief,
like one mourning for a mother.^(D)
15 But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee;
they gathered against me.
Assailants I did not know
tore at me and did not stop.^(E)
16 With godless mockery^[b]
they gnashed their teeth at me.^(F)
