Psalm 35: Trapped and slandered
It is so not fair! I didn’t do it!
I am not the person they say I am!
Those people have it in for me
they are saying the most terrible things
about me – why pick on me?!
I’m terrified of them
I’ll trip and fall into their traps
I hear them laughing at me.
I cry out to God – save me!
You stand up for the weak
you rescue those in need
you work justice, you win over evil!
Clear my name, wipe away my shame
and I will shout your praise.
