Psalm 41:6-7
The Message
4-7 I said, “God, be gracious!
Put me together again—
my sins have torn me to pieces.”
My enemies are wishing the worst for me;
they make bets on what day I will die.

These “friends” who hate me
whisper slanders all over town.
They form committees
to plan misery for me.

7 All my enemies whisper together(D) against me;
they imagine the worst for me, saying,
