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.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 35 of Psalms. Psalm 35 is an extensive plea against adversaries who respond with hostility to one who previously sought their well-being. Judicial and military language combines with a request that God intervene as defender. The psalmist protests the injustice of receiving evil for good and asks the Lord to make his justice public. The conclusion promises communal praise when deliverance confirms God’s righteousness.

Ich aber, wenn sie krank waren, zog einen Sack an, tat mir wehe mit Fasten und betete stets von Herzen;
Mas yo, cuando ellos enfermaron, me vestí de saco; Afligí con ayuno mi alma, Y mi oración se revolvía en mi seno.
Pero cuando ellos enfermaban, yo me vestía de tela de duelo y humillaba mi alma con ayuno; mi oración volvía a mi pecho.
Et moi, quand ils étaient malades, je revêtais un sac, J'humiliais mon âme par le jeûne, Je priais, la tête penchée sur mon sein.
E pure io, quando essi erano infermi, mi vestiva d’un cilicio. Ed affliggeva l’anima mia col digiuno, E la mia orazione mi ritornava in seno.
Mas, quanto a mim, quando estavam enfermos, as minhas vestes eram o saco; humilhava a minha alma com o jejum, e a minha oração voltava para o meu seio.
至於我,他們有病的時候, 我穿麻衣,禁食,刻苦己心; 我所求的都歸到自己身上。
