Psalm 41:5-11

Amplified Bible

⁵ 
My enemies speak evil of me, saying,
“When will he die and his name perish?”
⁶ 
And when one comes to see me, he speaks empty words,
While his heart gathers malicious gossip [against me];
When he goes away, he tells it [everywhere].
⁷ 
All who hate me whisper together about me;
Against me they devise my hurt [imagining the worst for me], saying,
⁸ 
“A wicked thing is poured out upon him and holds him;
And when he lies down, he will not rise up again.”
⁹ 
Even my own close friend in whom I trusted,
Who ate my bread,
Has lifted up his heel against me [betraying me].^(A)

¹⁰ 
But You, O Lord, be gracious to me and ^[a]restore me [to health],
So that I may repay them.
¹¹ 
By this I know that You favor and delight in me,
Because my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.
