Psalm 35:11-19
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.
16 Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked;[a](H)
they gnashed their teeth(I) at me.
17 How long,(J) Lord, will you look on?
Rescue me from their ravages,
my precious life(K) from these lions.(L)
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly;(M)
among the throngs(N) I will praise you.(O)
19 Do not let those gloat over me
who are my enemies(P) without cause;
do not let those who hate me without reason(Q)
maliciously wink the eye.(R)
