Psalm 35:11-15
English Standard Version
Psalm 35:11-15
English Standard Version
11 (A)Malicious[a] witnesses rise up;
they ask me of things that I do not know.
12 (B)They repay me evil for good;
my soul is bereft.[b]
13 But I, (C)when they were sick—
I (D)wore sackcloth;
I (E)afflicted myself with fasting;
I prayed (F)with head bowed[c] on my chest.
14 I went about as though I grieved for my friend or my brother;
as one who laments his mother,
I (G)bowed down in mourning.
15 But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered;
they gathered together against me;
(H)wretches whom I did not know
tore at me without ceasing;

New International Version
Psalm 35:11-15
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.
