The Hypocrisy and Malice of the Wicked
Psalms 35:11-18
11 Falseb witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoilingc of my soul.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbledd my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
15 But in mine adversitye they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darlingf from the lions.
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among muchg people.
