Psalm 35:11-16

New International Version

¹¹ Ruthless witnesses^(A) come forward;
    they question me on things I know nothing about.
¹² They repay me evil for good^(B)
    and leave me like one bereaved.
¹³ Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth^(C)
    and humbled myself with fasting.^(D)
When my prayers returned to me unanswered,
¹⁴     I went about mourning^(E)
    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;^(F)
    assailants gathered against me without my knowledge.
    They slandered^(G) me without ceasing.
¹⁶ Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked;^[a](H)
    they gnashed their teeth^(I) at me.
