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 My enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die and his name perish?

6 And if he came to see me, he spoke lies: his heart gathered iniquity to itself, and when he goes out, he tells it.

7 All that hate me congregate together and murmur against me; against me do they devise my hurt.

8 A disease of Belial, they say, cleaves fast unto him, and now that he lies he shall rise up no more.

9 Even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
