Psalms 41:8 Context
6And if hee come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquitie to it selfe, when he goeth abroad, he telleth it. 7All that hate me, whisper together against me; against me doe they deuise my hurt. 8An euill disease, say they, cleaueth fast vnto him; and now that he lyeth, he shall rise vp no more. 9Yea mine owne familiar friend in whom I trusted, which did eate of my bread, hath lift vp his heele against me. 10But thou, O Lord, be mercifull vnto mee, and raise me vp that I may requite them.
