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.
10 Lord, have mercy on me.Give me strength so I can pay them back.
11 Because my enemies do not defeat me,I know you are pleased with me.
12 Because I am innocent, you support meand will let me be with you forever.
