4As for me, I said, " O Yahweh, be gracious to me;
heal me, for I have sinned against you!"
5My enemies say of me in malice:
"When will he die, and his name perish?"
6And when one comes to see me, he utters empty words,
while his heart gathers mischief;
when he goes out, he tells it abroad.
7All who hate me whisper together about me;
they imagine the worst for me.
8They say, "A deadly thing has fastened upon him;
he will not rise again from where he lies."
9Even my bosom friend in whom I trusted,
who ate of my bread, has lifted his heel against me.
10But be gracious to me, O Yahweh,
and raise me up, that I may requite them!
11By this I know that you are pleased with me,
in that my enemy has not triumphed over me.
12But you have upheld me because of my integrity,
and set me in your presence for ever.
13Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting!
Amen & Amen.
