Psalm 41:7-9

O Lord, Be Gracious to Me

7 All who hate me whisper together about me;
they imagine the worst for me. 1

8 They say, "A deadly thing is poured out 2 on him;
he will not rise again from where he lies."
 9 Even my k close friend in whom I trusted,
who l ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.
