9. Then I will rejoice in the Lord.I will be happy when he saves me.
10. Even my bones will say,“Lord, who is like you?You save the weak from the strong.You save the weak and poor from robbers.”
11. Men without mercy stand up to testify.They ask me things I do not know.
12. They repay me with evil for the good I have done.They make me very sad.
13. Yet when they were sick, I put on rough cloth to show my sadness.I showed my sorrow by going without food.But my prayers were not answered.
14. I acted as if they were my friends or brothers.I bowed in sadness as if I were crying for my mother.
15. But when I was in trouble, they gathered and laughed.They gathered to attack before I knew it.They insulted me without stopping.
