3. The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
4. I said, LORD, be merciful to me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5. My enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
6. And if he cometh to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
7. All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
8. An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast to him: and now that he lieth he shall rise no more.
