Psalms 40:5-8

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.
