New Century Version

Psalms 35:11-15 New Century Version (NCV)

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,and they make me very sad.

13. Yet when they were sick, I put on clothes of sadnessand showed my sorrow by fasting.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.
