8 “An evil disease”, they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.” They say, “A deadly thing is poured out on him; he will not rise again from where he lies.” “A vile disease has afflicted him; he will never get up from the place where he lies.”
9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me. Even my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me. Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread, has turned against me.
10 But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them. But you, O LORD, be gracious to me, and raise me up, that I may repay them! But may you have mercy on me, LORD; raise me up, that I may repay them.
11 By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me. By this I know that you delight in me: my enemy will not shout in triumph over me. I know that you are pleased with me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever. But you have upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in your presence forever. Because of my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever.
