4When I was sick, I said, “Yahweh, be merciful to me and heal me; I know that I am sick because I have sinned against you.”
5My enemies say cruel things about me; they say, “How soon will he die, and then everyone will forget about him MTY? (OR, he will not have any descendants to continue his name).”
6When my enemies come to me, they falsely say that they are concerned about me. They listen to bad news about ◄me/my health►. Then they go away and tell everywhere what is happening to me.
7All those who hate me whisper to others about me, and they hope/desire that very bad things will happen to me.
8They say, “He will soon die because of his being sick; he will never get up from his bed before he dies.”
