3. The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness;You will sustain him on his sickbed.
4. I said, “Lord, be merciful 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 he comes to see me, he speaks lies;His heart gathers iniquity to itself;When he goes out, he tells it.
7. All who hate me whisper together against me;Against me they devise my hurt.
8. “An evil disease,” they say, “clings to him.And now that he lies down, he will rise up no more.”
