My soul will inevitably become discouraged. (1)

If I am criticized by someone

who hates me for something I did not know about,

or if he returns evil to me for good,

my soul will inevitably become discouraged

(Ref.: Psalms 35:11-12).

My soul will inevitably become discouraged. (2)

I rejoice when I am in trouble,

but if people who hate me gather together without my knowledge

and continue to slander me with lies and slander me,

my soul will inevitably become discouraged

(Ref.: Psalms 35:12, 15, 20).
