Psalms 41:5-11

⁵My haters say evil against me, When will he be dead, and his name come to an end?

⁶If one comes to see me, deceit is in his heart; he keeps a store of evil, which he makes public in every place.

⁷All my haters are talking secretly together against me; they are designing my downfall.

⁸They say, He has an evil disease, which will not let him go: and now that he is down he will not get up again.

⁹Even my dearest friend, in whom I had faith, who took bread with me, is turned against me.

¹⁰But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, lifting me up, so that I may give them their punishment.

¹¹By this I see that you have pleasure in me, because my hater does not overcome me.
