Psalm 35:12-14

Lexham English Bible

¹² They repay me evil in place of good.
It is bereavement to my soul.
¹³ But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth.
I weakened my soul with fasting,
and my prayer returned to me unanswered.^[a]
14 I behaved^[b] as though he were a friend or as a brother to me.
As one lamenting a mother, I was bowed down in mourning.
