Psalms 41:3-8

3The Lord sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness.

4I said, “Have mercy on me, Lord; heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

5My enemies say of me in malice, “When will he die and his name perish?”

6When one of them comes to see me, he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander; then he goes out and spreads it around.

7All my enemies whisper together against me; they imagine the worst for me, saying,

8“A vile disease has afflicted him; he will never get up from the place where he lies.”
