5 My enemies say of me in malice,‘When will he die and his name perish?’
6 When one of them comes to see me,he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander;then he goes out and spreads it around.
7 All my enemies whisper together against me;they imagine the worst for me, saying,
8 ‘A vile disease has afflicted him;he will never get up from the place where he lies.’
9 Even my close friend,someone I trusted,one who shared my bread,has turned against me.
10 But may you have mercy on me, Lord;raise me up, that I may repay them.
11 I know that you are pleased with me,for my enemy does not triumph over me.
