3. The Lord will sustain them on the sickbed;You will restore all his lying down in his illness.
4. I said, “Lord, be gracious to me;heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”
5. My enemies speak evil of me:“When will he die, and his name perish?”
6. And if people come to see me, they speak insincerely;their heart gathers iniquity to itself,when they go outside, they tell it.
7. All who hate me whisper together against me;they devise harm against me.
8. “An evil disease clings to him.And now that he lies down, he will not rise up again.”
9. Yes, my own close friend,in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread,has lifted up the heel against me.
10. But You, O Lord, be gracious to me,and raise me up, that I may repay them.
11. By this I know that You favor me,because my enemy does not triumph over me.
12. As for me, You uphold me in my integrity,and set me before You forever.
