Psalm 35:11–18
11 Ruthless witnessesf come forward;
they question me on things I know nothing about.
12 They repay me evil for goodg
and leave me like one bereaved.
13 Yet when they were ill, I put on sackclothh
and humbled myself with fasting.i
When my prayers returned to me unanswered,
14 I went about mourningj
as though for my friend or brother.
I bowed my head in grief
as though weeping for my mother.
15 But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee;k
assailants gathered against me without my knowledge.
They slanderedl me without ceasing.
16 Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked;b m
they gnashed their teethn at me.
17 How long,o Lord, will you look on?
Rescue me from their ravages,
my precious lifep from these lions.q
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly;r
