7 All who hate me whisper insults about me to one another;they plan ways to harm me.
8 They say,‘An awful disease overwhelms him,and now that he is bed-ridden he will never recover.’
9 Even my close friend whom I trusted,he who shared meals with me, has turned against me.
10 As for you, O Lord, have mercy on me and raise me up,so I can pay them back!”
11 By this I know that you are pleased with me,for my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 As for me, you uphold me because of my integrity;you allow me permanent access to your presence.
13 The Lord God of Israel deserves praisein the future and forevermore!We agree! We agree!
