Psalm 35:12-14

International Children’s Bible

¹² They repay me with evil for the good I have done.
    They make me very sad.
¹³ Yet when they were sick, I put on rough cloth to show my sadness.
    I showed my sorrow by going without food.
But my prayers were not answered.
¹⁴     I acted as if they were my friends or brothers.
I bowed in sadness as if I were crying for my mother.
