5 (6) Mine enemies speak rah (evil) of me: When will he die, and shmo (his name) perish?
6 (7) And if one cometh to see me, he speaketh falsely; his lev gathereth wickedness to itself; when he goeth lachutz (outside, around) he telleth it.
7 (8) All that hate me whisper together against me; against me do they devise my hurt.
8 (9) A thing of beliya'al (a wicked fate, i.e., a terminal illness), say they, cleaveth fast unto him, that when he lieth he shall rise up no more.
9 (10) Yea, mine own ish shalom (familiar friend, close friend), in whom I trusted, which did eat of my lechem, hath lifted up his heel (i.e., deceitfully showed enmity) against me [see Yn 13:18].
10 (11) But Thou, O Hashem, channeni (be gracious, merciful unto me), and raise me up, that I may repay them.
11 (12) By this I know that Thou favorest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
