Psalm 41:6-9 English Standard Version (ESV)

6. And when one comes to see me, he utters empty words,while his heart gathers iniquity;when he goes out, he tells it abroad.

7. All who hate me whisper together about me;they imagine the worst for me.

8. They say, “A deadly thing is poured out on him;he will not rise again from where he lies.”

9. Even my close friend in whom I trusted,who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.
