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.
