Psalm 35:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ I went about as though in grief,
    as though for a friend or brother.
I bowed down in sorrow
    as though lamenting for a mother.
¹⁵ But when I stumbled, they rejoiced and came together;
    they came together and struck me unawares.
    They slandered me without letup.
¹⁶ They mocked me with ever increasing fury
    as they gnashed their teeth at me.
