The Complaint: Betrayal by False Witnesses

Psalms 35:11-18

Cruell witnesses did rise vp: they asked of me things that I knewe not.

They rewarded me euill for good, to haue spoyled my soule.

Yet I, when they were sicke, I was clothed with a sacke: I humbled my soule with fasting: and my praier was turned vpon my bosome.

I behaued my selfe as to my friend, or as to my brother: I humbled my selfe, mourning as one that bewaileth his mother.

But in mine aduersitie they reioyced, and gathered them selues together: the abiects assembled themselues against me, and knewe not: they tare me and ceased not,

With the false skoffers at bankets, gnashing their teeth against me.

Lord, how long wilt thou beholde this? deliuer my soule from their tumult, euen my desolate soule from the lions.

So will I giue thee thankes in a great Congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
