THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Psalms (Author Moses, David, Solomon, Asaph, Heman, Ethan, sons of Korah, compiled by Ezra)

35:11False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.

35:12They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.

35:13But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.

35:14I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

35:15But in mine adversity 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:

35:16With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

41:9Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

55:12For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

55:13But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

55:14We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

55:20He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.

55:21The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

88:8Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

88:18Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
