Psalm 35:14-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 as though I grieved for a friend or a brother;
I went about as one who laments for a mother,
bowed down and in mourning.
15 But at my stumbling they gathered in glee;

ruffians whom I did not know
tore at me without ceasing;(A)
16 they impiously mocked more and more,[a]
gnashing at me with their teeth.
