Psalms 41:5-13 ▼

5 <V 40:6>My enemies have spoken evils against me. When will he die and his name perish?

6 <V 40:7>And when he came in to see me, he was speaking emptiness. His heart gathered iniquity to itself. He went outside, and he was speaking in the same way.

7 <V 40:8>All my enemies were whispering against me. They were thinking up evils against me.

8 <V 40:9>They established an unjust word against me. Will he that sleeps no longer rise again?

9 <V 40:10>For even the man of my peace, in whom I hoped, who ate my bread, has greatly supplanted me.

10 <V 40:11>But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again. And I will requite them.

11 <V 40:12>By this, I knew that you preferred me: because my adversary will not rejoice over me.

12 <V 40:13>But you have sustained me, because of my innocence, and you have confirmed me in your sight in eternity.

13 <V 40:14>Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, for all generations and even forever. Amen. Amen.
