Psalms 35:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 35:14

12 ^aThey reward me evil for good,
To the sorrow of my soul.

13 But as for me, ^awhen they were sick,
My clothing was sackcloth;
I humbled myself with fasting;
And my prayer would return to my own¹ heart.

14 I paced about as though he were my friend or brother;
I bowed down¹ heavily, as one who mourns for his mother.

15 But in my¹ adversity they rejoiced
And gathered together;
Attackers gathered against me,
And I did not know it;
They tore at me and did not cease;

16 With ungodly mockers at feasts
They gnashed at me with their teeth.

17 Lord, how long will You ^alook on?
Rescue me from their destructions,
My precious life from the lions.

18 I will give You thanks in the great assembly;
I will praise You among¹ many people.
