Psalm 35:13-15

New Catholic Bible

¹³ Yet, when they were ill, I put on sackcloth^[a]
    and afflicted myself with fasting,
    while I poured forth prayers from my heart.
¹⁴ I went about as though in grief,
    as though for a friend or brother.
I bowed down in sorrow
    as though lamenting for a mother.
¹⁵ But when I stumbled, they rejoiced and came together;
    they came together and struck me unawares.
    They slandered me without letup.
