7All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.
8"An evil disease," they say, "has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more."
9Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, Who ate bread with me, Has lifted up his heel against me.
10But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me, and raise me up, That I may repay them.
11By this I know that you delight in me, Because my enemy doesn`t triumph over me.
12As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, And set me in your presence forever.
13Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From everlasting and to everlasting! Amen and amen. BOOK II Psalm 42 For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by the sons of Korah.
