Psalm 35:13-15
Contemporary English Version

13 When they were sick,
I wore sackcloth[a]
    and went without food.[b]
I truly prayed for them,[c]
14 as I would for a friend
    or a relative.
I was in sorrow and mourned,
    as I would for my mother.

15 I have stumbled,
    and worthless liars
I don't even know
    surround me and sneer.
