Psalms 40:3-10

³The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth: and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.

⁴The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.

⁵I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.

⁶My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall he die and his name perish?

⁷And 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.

⁸All my enemies whispered together against me: they devised evils to me.

⁹They determined against me an unjust word: shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?

¹⁰For even the man of peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.
