6 If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.
7 All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.
8 “An evil disease”, they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”
9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.
10 But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.
11 By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.
12 As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.
