4 I said, “I have sinned against you, Lord;be merciful to me and heal me.”
5 My enemies say cruel things about me.They want me to die and be forgotten.
6 Those who come to see me are not sincere;they gather bad news about meand then go out and tell it everywhere.
7 All who hate me whisper to each other about me,they imagine the worst about me.
8 They say, “He is fatally ill;he will never leave his bed again.”
9 Even my best friend, the one I trusted most,the one who shared my food,has turned against me.
10 Be merciful to me, Lord, and restore my health,and I will pay my enemies back.
