Psalm 35:11-13
New Catholic Bible
11 False witnesses step forward
and question me about things I do not know.
12 They give me back evil in place of good
and leave my soul in sorrow.
13 Yet, when they were ill, I put on sackcloth[a]
and afflicted myself with fasting,
while I poured forth prayers from my heart.
