Psalms 35:7-13 Common English Bible (CEB)

7. Because they hid their net for me for no reason,they dug a pit for me for no reason.

11. Violent witnesses stand up.They question me about things I know nothing about.

12. They pay me back evil for good,leaving me stricken with grief.

13. But when they were sick, I wore clothes for grieving,and I kept a strict fast.When my prayer came back unanswered,
