Psalms 35:11

¶ False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge [things] that I knew not.

False {H2555} witnesses {H5707} did rise up {H6965}; they laid to my charge {H7592}{H8799)} things that I knew {H3045}{H8804)} not.

Malicious witnesses come forward, asking me things about which I know nothing.

Hostile witnesses come forward; they make charges I know nothing about.

Unrighteous witnesses rise up; They ask me of things that I know not.
