NET Bible
"Violent men perjure themselves, and falsely accuse me."
— Psalms 35:11, NET Bible
“False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.”
“Unrighteous witnesses rise up; They ask me of things that I know not. ”
“Unrighteous witnesses rise up. They ask me about things that I don't know about.”
“Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.”
“False witnesses got up: they put questions to me about crimes of which I had no knowledge.”
“False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.”
Let destruction take them by surprise! Let the net they hid catch them! Let them fall into destruction!
Then I will rejoice in the LORD and be happy because of his deliverance.
With all my strength I will say,“O LORD, who can compare to you? You rescue the oppressed from those who try to overpower them; the oppressed and needy from those who try to rob them.”
Violent men perjure themselves, and falsely accuse me.
They repay me evil for the good I have done; I am overwhelmed with sorrow.
When they were sick, I wore sackcloth, and refrained from eating food.(If I am lying, may my prayers go unanswered!)
I mourned for them as I would for a friend or my brother. I bowed down in sorrow as if I were mourning for my mother.
