My clothing was sackcloth;
I humbled myself with fasting;
And my prayer would return to my own1 heart.
I bowed down1 heavily, as one who mourns for his mother.
And gathered together;
Attackers gathered against me,
And I did not know it;
They tore at me and did not cease;
Rescue me from their destructions,
My precious life from the lions.

Psalms 35:15
But in mine adversity they reioiced - How David was mocked and insulted in the case of Absalom' s rebellion by Shimei and others, is well known.
The abjects - nechim , the smiters, probably hired assassins. They were everywhere lying in wait, to take away my life.
