¹⁴ My relatives have gone away;
    my closest friends^(A) have forgotten me.

¹¹ My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;^(A)
    my neighbors stay far away.

²⁴ One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin,
    but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.^(A)

¹² If an enemy were insulting me,
    I could endure it;
if a foe were rising against me,

¹³ But it is you, a man like myself,
    my companion, my close friend,^(A)
14 with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship^(B)
    at the house of God,^(C)
as we walked about
    among the worshipers.
