  1. Psalm 35:14 Or dressed in black

12 They repay me evil for good(A)
    and leave me like one bereaved.
13 Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth(B)
    and humbled myself with fasting.(C)
When my prayers returned to me unanswered,
14     I went about mourning(D)
    as though for my friend or brother.
I bowed my head in grief
    as though weeping for my mother.
