Psalm 35:13-15
Common English Bible
Psalm 35:13-15
Common English Bible
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.
15 But when I stumbled, they celebrated and gathered together—
they gathered together against me!
Strangers[b] I didn’t know tore me to pieces and wouldn’t quit.

Psalm 35:13-15
New International Version
13 Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth(A)
and humbled myself with fasting.(B)
When my prayers returned to me unanswered,
14 I went about mourning(C)
as though for my friend or brother.
I bowed my head in grief
as though weeping for my mother.
15 But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee;(D)
assailants gathered against me without my knowledge.
They slandered(E) me without ceasing.
