Psalm 35:9-16

New King James Version

⁹ And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord;
It shall rejoice in His salvation.
^10 (A)All my bones shall say,
“Lord, ^(B)who is like You,
Delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him,
Yes, the poor and the needy from him who plunders him?”

¹¹ Fierce witnesses rise up;
They ask me things that I do not know.
^12 (C)They reward me evil for good,
To the sorrow of my soul.
¹³ But as for me, ^(D)when they were sick,
My clothing was sackcloth;
I humbled myself with fasting;
And my prayer would return to my own ^[a]heart.
¹⁴ I paced about as though he were my friend or brother;
I bowed down ^[b]heavily, as one who mourns for his mother.

¹⁵ But in my ^[c]adversity they rejoiced
And gathered together;
Attackers gathered against me,
And I did not know it;
They tore at me and did not cease;
¹⁶ With ungodly mockers at feasts
They gnashed at me with their teeth.
