Ingratitude » Of man to man » David's companions to david
Even my own close friend in whom I trusted,
Who ate my bread,
Has lifted up his heel against me [betraying me].
They repay evil for good, they attack and try to kill me,
Because I follow what is good.
Malicious and unrighteous witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I know not. They reward me evil for good to my personal bereavement. But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I afflicted myself with fasting, and I prayed with head bowed on my breast. read more.
I behaved as if grieving for my friend or my brother; I bowed down in sorrow, as one who bewails his mother. But in my stumbling and limping they rejoiced and gathered together [against me]; the smiters (slanderers and revilers) gathered against me, and I knew them not; they ceased not to slander and revile me. Like profane mockers at feasts [making sport for the price of a cake] they gnashed at me with their teeth.

In return for my love they are my adversaries, but I resort to prayer. And they have rewarded and laid upon me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
