Psalms 35:13-21

¹³But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; And my prayer returned into mine own bosom.

¹⁴I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

¹⁵But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: Yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; They did tear me, and ceased not:

¹⁶With hypocritical mockers in feasts, They gnashed upon me with their teeth.

¹⁷Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, My darling from the lions.

¹⁸I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.

¹⁹Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: Neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

²⁰For they speak not peace: But they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.

²¹Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, And said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
