6 They visit me as if they were my friends,but all the while they gather gossip,and when they leave, they spread it everywhere.
7 All who hate me whisper about me,imagining the worst.
8 “He has some fatal disease,” they say.“He will never get out of that bed!”
9 Even my best friend, the one I trusted completely,the one who shared my food, has turned against me.
10 lord, have mercy on me.Make me well again, so I can pay them back!
11 I know you are pleased with me,for you have not let my enemies triumph over me.
12 You have preserved my life because I am innocent;you have brought me into your presence forever.
