Psalm 35:11-16
1599 Geneva Bible
11 [a]Cruel witnesses did rise up: they asked of me things that I knew not.
12 They rewarded me evil for good, to [b]have spoiled my soul.
13 Yet I, when they were sick, I was clothed with a sack: I humbled my soul with fasting: and [c]my prayer was turned upon my bosom.
14 I behaved myself as to my friend, or as to my brother: I humbled myself, mourning as one that bewaileth his mother.
15 But in mine [d]adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: the abjects assembled themselves against me, and I knew not: they tare [e]me, and ceased not,
16 With the false scoffers at [f]banquets, gnashing their teeth against me.
