Psalm 35:10-16

English Standard Version

^11 (C)Malicious^[a] witnesses rise up;
    they ask me of things that I do not know.
^12 (D)They repay me evil for good;
    my soul is bereft.^[b]
13 But I, ^(E)when they were sick—
    I ^(F)wore sackcloth;
    I ^(G)afflicted myself with fasting;
I prayed ^(H)with head bowed^[c] on my chest.
¹⁴     I went about as though I grieved for my friend or my brother;
as one who laments his mother,
    I ^(I)bowed down in mourning.

¹⁵ But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered;
    they gathered together against me;
^(J)wretches whom I did not know
    tore at me without ceasing;
¹⁶ like profane mockers at a feast,^[d]
    they ^(K)gnash at me with their teeth.
