Psalms 35:11-16 New English Translation (NET)

11. Violent men perjure themselves,and falsely accuse me.

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

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

14. I 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.

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

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