Psalm 35:13-17

View Full Chapter

13Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth and humbled myself with fasting. When my prayers returned to me unanswered,

14I went about mourning as though for my friend or brother. I bowed my head in grief as though weeping for my mother.

15But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee; assailants gathered against me without my knowledge. They slandered me without ceasing.

16Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked; Septuagint; Hebrew may mean Like an ungodly circle of mockers, they gnashed their teeth at me.

17How long, Lord, will you look on? Rescue me from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.
