Psalm 35:16
World English Bible
Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting. My prayer returned into my own bosom.
14 I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.
15 But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I didn`t know it. They tore at me, and didn`t cease.
16 Like the profane mockers in feasts, They gnashed their teeth at me.
17 Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, My precious life from the lions.
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you among many people.
19 Don`t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; Neither let them wink with the eye who hate me without a cause.
