4
(40-5) I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
5
(40-6) My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall he die and his name perish?
6
(40-7) And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things: his heart gathered together iniquity to itself. He went out and spoke to the same purpose.
7
(40-8) All my enemies whispered together against me: they devised evils to me.
8
(40-9) They determined against me an unjust word: shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?
9
(40-10) For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.
10
(40-11) But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise my up again: and I will requite them.
11
(40-12) By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.
12
(40-13) But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: and hast established me in thy sight for ever.
13
(40-14) Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. So be it. So be it.
