“But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth.I afflicted my soul with fasting.My prayer returned into my own bosom.”
Psalm 35:13 (WEB)
Context Reading
11Unrighteous witnesses rise up.They ask me about things that I don’t know about. 12They reward me evil for good,to the bereaving of my soul. 13But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth.I afflicted my soul with fasting.My prayer returned into my own bosom. 14I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother.I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother. 15But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together.The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I didn’t know it.They tore at me, and didn’t cease.
