Context of Psalms 41:7
5My enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish? 6And if he cometh to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it . All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt. 8An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast to him: and now that he lieth he shall rise no more. 9Yea, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
