Psalm 35:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ But when they were sick, I put on the clothing of sadness.
    I made myself humble by going without food.
My prayers for them weren’t always answered.
¹⁴     So I went around crying
    as if I were mourning over my friend or relative.
I bowed my head in sadness
    as if I were weeping over my mother.
¹⁵ But when I tripped and fell, they were all very happy.
    Attackers gathered against me when I didn’t even know it.
    They kept on telling lies about me.
