But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth (mourning garment);
I humbled my soul with fasting,
And I prayed with my head bowed on my chest.

The slanderers whom I did not know gathered against me;
They slandered and reviled me without ceasing.

    They slandered(E) me without ceasing.
