8 All my haters are talking secretly together against me; they are designing my downfall.
9 They say, He has an evil disease, which will not let him go: and now that he is down he will not get up again.
10 Even my dearest friend, in whom I had faith, who took bread with me, is turned against me.
11 But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, lifting me up, so that I may give them their punishment.
12 By this I see that you have pleasure in me, because my hater does not overcome me.
13 And as for me, you are my support in my righteousness, giving me a place before your face for ever.
14 May the Lord God of Israel be praised, through eternal days and for ever. So be it. So be it.
