New Testament

Psalms 35:13-19 Modern English Version (MEV)

13. But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth;I humbled my soul with fasting;and my prayer returns to my own heart.

14. I paced as though he were my friend or brother;I bowed down lamenting,as one who mourns for a mother.

15. But in my adversity they rejoiced and gathered together;assailants gathered together against me, though I was unaware;they tore me apart and did not stop;

16. with hypocritical mockers in feasts,they gnashed on me with their teeth.

17. Lord, how long will You look on?Rescue my soul from their destructions,my life from the lions.

18. I will give You thanks in the great congregation;I will praise You among a mighty people.

19. May my deceitful enemiesnot rejoice over me;nor may those who hate me without causewink with their eye.
