Psalm 34:11-17

Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not. 

They repaid me evil for good: 

to the depriving me of my soul.

But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, 

I was clothed with haircloth.

I humbled my soul with fasting; 

and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom. 

As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: 

as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled. 

But they rejoiced against me, and came together:

scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.

They were separated, and repented not: 

they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn:

they gnashed upon me with their teeth. 

Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? 

Rescue thou soul from their malice: 

my only one from the lions.
