Psalm 35:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² They pay me back evil for good,
    leaving me stricken with grief.
¹³ But when they were sick, I wore clothes for grieving,
    and I kept a strict fast.
When my prayer came back unanswered,^[a]
14 I would wander around like I was grieving a friend or a brother.
    I was weighed down, sad, like I was a mother in mourning.
