Psalms 35:11-21
11Hostile witnesses come forward; they make charges I know nothing about.12They repay me evil for good, to the bereavement of my soul.13Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting, but my prayers returned unanswered.114I paced about as for my friend or brother; I was bowed down with grief, like one mourning for his mother.15But when I stumbled, they assembled in glee; they gathered together against me. Assailants I did not know slandered me without ceasing.16Like godless jesters at a feast,2 they gnashed their teeth at me.
17How long, O Lord, will You look on?Rescue my soul from their ravages,my precious life from these lions.18Then I will give You thanks in the great assembly;I will praise You among many people.19Let not my enemies gloat over me without cause,nor those who hate me without reason wink in malice.320For they do not speak peace,but they devise deceitful schemesagainst those who live quietly in the land.21They gape at me and say,“Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen!”
