12. They repay me evil for good,making me desolate.
13. Yet when they were sick,my clothing was sackcloth;I humbled myself with fasting,and my prayer was genuine.
14. I went about grieving as if for my friend or brother;I was bowed down with grief,like one mourning a mother.
15. But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee;they gathered against me.Assailants I did not knowtore at me and did not stop.
16. With godless mockery they gnashed their teeth at me.
17. Lord, how long will You look on? Rescue my life from their ravages,my only one from the young lions.
