Psalms 40:5-10

⁵Mine enemies have spoken evil against me, saying, When shall he die, and his name perish?

⁶And if he came to see me, his heart spoke vainly; he gathered iniquity to himself; he went forth and spoke in like manner.

⁷All my enemies whispered against me; against me they devised my hurt.

⁸They denounced a wicked word against me, saying, Now that he lies, shall he not rise up again?

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

¹⁰But you, O Lord, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall requite them.
