Psalms 40:3-8

³May the Lord preserve him and keep him alive, and bless him on the earth, and not deliver him into the hands of his enemy.

⁴May the Lord help him upon the bed of his pain; thou hast made all his bed in his sickness.

⁵I said, O Lord, have mercy upon me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

⁶Mine enemies have spoken evil against me, saying, When shall he die, and his name perish?

⁷And if he came to see me, his heart spoke vainly; he gathered iniquity to himself; he went forth and spoke in like manner.

⁸All my enemies whispered against me; against me they devised my hurt.
