Psalm 41:5-13
New International Version
5 My enemies say of me in malice,
“When will he die and his name perish?(A)”
6 When one of them comes to see me,
he speaks falsely,(B) while his heart gathers slander;(C)
then he goes out and spreads(D) it around.
7 All my enemies whisper together(E) against me;
they imagine the worst for me, saying,
8 “A vile disease has afflicted him;
he will never get up(F) from the place where he lies.”
9 Even my close friend,(G)
someone I trusted,
one who shared my bread,
has turned[a] against me.(H)

Psalm 41:5-13
King James Version
5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
6 And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
10 But thou, O Lord, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
13 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
