4 As for me, I said, “O Lord, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against you!”
5 My enemies say of me in malice,“When will he die, and his name perish?”
6 And when one comes to see me, he utters empty words,while his heart gathers iniquity;when he goes out, he tells it abroad.
7 All who hate me whisper together about me;they imagine the worst for me.
8 They say, “A deadly thing is poured out on him;he will not rise again from where he lies.”
9 Even my close friend in whom I trusted,who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.
10 But you, O Lord, be gracious to me,and raise me up, that I may repay them!
