Psalms 35:13-14

Psalms 35:13-14

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