Psalms 35:11-16

¹¹People who tell lies stand in court and falsely accuse me of doing things that I do not know anything about.

¹²In return for my doing good things for them, they do evil things to me, with the result that I feel that I am alone.

¹³When they were ill, I showed that I was sad. I did not eat any food, and I bowed my head as I prayed for them.

¹⁴I mourned and bowed my head as I prayed as though it was a friend or my mother for whom I was grieving.

¹⁵But when I had troubles, they were all happy about it. They gathered around to make fun of me. Strangers struck me, and they would not stop.

¹⁶Worthless people ridicule me and snarl at me.
