6 Or if he come to visit me, He speaketh [lies and] vanity, ⟨p. 67⟩His heart, to tell it all abroad, Gathers [it self] iniquity.
7 Against me they whisper and plot, [Then all] that are mine enemies; Together they some hurt or ill Against me [daily] do devise.
8 There cleaves to him, say they with joy, Some ill disease or [mortal] sore; And now that he doth keep his bed, [Off it] he shall rise up no more.
9 Yea, he with whom I lived in peace, [Who was] my friend and confident; Who of my bread did eat, even he His [scornful] heel against me bent.
9 Yea, he with whom I liv'd in peace, [Who was] my friend and confident; Who of my bread did eat, even he His [scornful] heel against me bent.
