5
My enemies say of me in malice, “When will he die and his name perish?”
6
When one of them comes to see me, he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander; then he goes out and spreads it around.
7
All my enemies whisper together against me; they imagine the worst for me, saying,
8
“A vile disease has afflicted him; he will never get up from the place where he lies.”
9
Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread, has turneda against me.
