Psalm 35:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴     So I went around crying
    as if I were mourning over my friend or relative.
I bowed my head in sadness
    as if I were weeping over my mother.
¹⁵ But when I tripped and fell, they were all very happy.
    Attackers gathered against me when I didn’t even know it.
    They kept on telling lies about me.
¹⁶ Like ungodly people, they were mean and made fun of me.
    They ground their teeth at me in hate.
