4. As for me, I said, “O Yahweh, be gracious to me. Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
5. My enemies speak evil about me, “When will he die and his name perish?”
6. And when one comes to see me, he speaks falsely; his heart gathers disaster for itself. He goes out to the street; he speaks.
7. All who hate me speak together against me. Against me they assume the worst for me:
8. “A ruinous thing is poured out on him, and now that he lies down, he will not rise up again.”
9. Even my close friend, whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.
10. But you, O Yahweh, be gracious to me and raise me up that I may repay them.
11. By this I know that you delight in me: because my enemy has not shouted in triumph over me.
12. As for me, you have upheld me in my integrity, and you have set me in your presence forever.
