All that hate me whisper together against me
That is, they privately conspired against him; see ( Matthew 22:15 ) ( John 11:53 ) ( Matthew 26:3 Matthew 26:4 ) ;

Psalms 41:7 In-Context

5 Mine enemies speak evil against me, [saying], When will he die, and his name perish?

6 And if he come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth iniquity to itself: When he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

7 All that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise my hurt.

8 An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him; And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, Who did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against me.
