7All who hate me talk in whispers about my condition, hoping for the worst.
8“He's been cursed with some terrible disease,” they say. “Now he's bed-ridden he'll never recover!”
9Even my best friend, the one I trusted, who shared meals with me—even he has turned against me.
10But you Lord, please be gracious to me, make me well so I can repay them!
11I know you are pleased with me because you have not let my enemies win and shout in triumph over me.
12You have supported me because of my integrity, you have brought me into your presence forever.
