verse 5 Those men that be mine enemies, with evil me de•ame; When will the time come he shall die, and perish shall his name? verse 6 And if he come to visit me, he speaks vain lies in heart: He heapeth evils, then he goes abroad them to impart.
(2) verse 7 All that me hate against me they together whisper still: Against me they imagine do to me malicious ill. verse 8 Thus do they say, Some ill disease unto him cleaveth sore: And seeing now he lieth down, he shall rise up no more.
verse 9 Moreover my familiar friend, on whom my trust I set, His heel against me lifted up who of my bread did eat. verse 10 But Lord, me pity and me raise, that I may them requite. verse 11 By this I know assuredly, in me thou dost delight.
For o'er me triumphs not my foe, verse 12 And me, thou dost me stay ⟨p. 109⟩In mine integrity, and settest me thee before for aye. verse 13 Blest hath Jehovah Israels God from everlasting been, And unto everlasting is, Amen, yea, and amen.
