Psalm 35:13

Prayer For Victory

¹² They repay me evil for good,
making me desolate.
¹³ Yet when they were sick,
my clothing was sackcloth;
I humbled myself with fasting,
and my prayer was genuine.
¹⁴ I went about grieving as if for my friend or brother;
I was bowed down with grief,
like one mourning a mother.
