Psalm 35:10-16

English Standard Version

¹⁰All my ^(A)bones shall say,
    “O Lord, ^(B)who is like you,
delivering the poor
    from him who is too strong for him,
    the poor and needy from him who robs him?”

¹¹^(C)Malicious^[a] witnesses rise up;
    they ask me of things that I do not know.
¹²^(D)They repay me evil for good;
    my soul is bereft.^[b]
¹³But I, ^(E)when they were sick—
    I ^(F)wore sackcloth;
    I ^(G)afflicted myself with fasting;
I prayed ^(H)with head bowed^[c] on my chest.
¹⁴    I went about as though I grieved for my friend or my brother;
as one who laments his mother,
    I ^(I)bowed down in mourning.

¹⁵But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered;
    they gathered together against me;
^(J)wretches whom I did not know
    tore at me without ceasing;
¹⁶like profane mockers at a feast,^[d]
    they ^(K)gnash at me with their teeth.
