3 The Lord will give them strength when they are sick,and he will make them well again.
4 I said, “Lord, have mercy on me.Heal me, because I have sinned against you.”
5 My enemies are saying evil things about me.They say, “When will he die and be forgotten?”
6 Some people come to see me,but they lie.They just come to get bad news.Then they go and gossip.
7 All my enemies whisper about meand think the worst about me.
8 They say, “He has a terrible disease.He will never get out of bed again.”
9 My best and truest friend, who ate at my table,has even turned against me.
