Psalm 35:11–16, “False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not. They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul. 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. I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother. But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not: With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.”

David’s enemies told lies about him so that they could justify themselves. We all have a tendency to try and blame someone else when we do something wrong ourselves. He was accused by others because they wanted to look righteous themselves. However, they were telling lies and were in the wrong. David did good to other people but they used his good will to give themselves an opportunity to hurt him. He was greatly distressed but they were glad at his torment.
