Psalms 35:7-15 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

7. I did them no harm,but they hid a netto trap me,and they dug a deep pitto catch and kill me.

8. Surprise them with disaster!Trap them in their own netsand let them fall and rotin the pits they have dug.

9. I will celebrate and be joyfulbecause you, Lord,have saved me.

10. Every bone in my bodywill shout:“No one is like the Lord!”You protect the helplessfrom those in power;you save the poor and needyfrom those who hurt them.

11. Liars accuse me of crimesI know nothing about.

12. They repay evil for good,and I feel all alone.

13. When they were sick,I wore sackclothand went without food.I truly prayed for them,

14. as I would for a friendor a relative.I was in sorrow and mourned,as I would for my mother.

15. I have stumbled,and worthless liarsI don't even knowsurround me and sneer.
