7 All mine enemies backbited privily against me; against me they thought evils to me. (All my enemies secretly backbite me; they think up evil things to do to me.)
8 They ordained an evil word against me; Whether he that sleepeth, shall not lie to, that he rise again? (They ordained an evil word against me; and they said, He who sleepeth, now that he lieth down, shall not rise up again.)
9 For why the man of my peace, in whom I hoped, he that ate my loaves; made great deceit on me. (For my friend, in whom I trusted, he who ate my bread; brought forth great deceptions, or lies, against me.)
10 But thou, Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me (up) again; and I shall yield to them (or and I shall repay them).
11 In this thing I knew, that thou wouldest me; for mine enemy shall not have joy on me. (And by this I shall know that thou delightest in me; and that my enemy shall not have any joy over me.)
12 Forsooth thou hast taken me up for (mine) innocence; and hast confirmed me in thy sight into without end. (For thou hast upheld me because of my innocence; and will keep me before thee forever.)
