Psalm 35:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

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.
¹⁵ But when I had troubles, they laughed at me.
    They were not really friends.
I was surrounded and attacked
    by people I didn’t even know.
¹⁶ They made fun of me, using the worst language.
    They ground their teeth to show their anger.
