Psalms 35:11-16

11Violent men perjure themselves, and falsely accuse me.

12They repay me evil for the good I have done; I am overwhelmed with sorrow.

13When they were sick, I wore sackcloth, and refrained from eating food. (If I am lying, may my prayers go unanswered!)

14I mourned for them as I would for a friend or my brother. I bowed down in sorrow as if I were mourning for my mother.

15But when I stumbled, they rejoiced and gathered together; they gathered together to ambush me. They tore at me without stopping to rest.

16When I tripped, they taunted me relentlessly, and tried to bite me.
