Psalm 35:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹² They repay me evil for good;
    my soul is forlorn.^(A)
13 But as for me, when they were sick,
    I wore sackcloth;
    I afflicted myself with fasting.
I prayed with head bowed^[a] on my bosom,^(B)
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.
