^(u)Malicious witnesses rise up; They ask me of things that I do not know.

They ^(v)repay me evil for good, To the bereavement of my soul.

But as for me, ^(w)when they were sick, my ^(x)clothing was sackcloth; I ^(y)humbled my soul with fasting, And my ^(z)prayer kept returning to my bosom.

I went about as though it were my friend or brother; I ^(aa)bowed down ^[e]mourning, as one who sorrows for a mother.

But ^(ab)at my ^[f]stumbling they rejoiced and gathered themselves together; The ^[g](ac)smiters whom I did not know gathered together against me, They ^[h](ad)slandered me without ceasing.
