Psalms 41:5 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Psalms 41:5

3 The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness;
You will¹ sustain him on his sickbed.

4 I said, “Lord, be merciful to me;
^aHeal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”

5 My enemies speak evil of me:
“When will he die, and his name perish?”

6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks¹ lies;
His heart gathers iniquity to itself;
When he goes out, he tells it.

7 All who hate me whisper together against me;
Against me they¹ devise my hurt.
