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 35:14 | Psalms 35:16 >> |
