Psalms 41:8
Compare all
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. 
8 “An1 evil disease,” they say, “clings to him.
And now that he lies down, he will rise up no more.” 
9 aEven my own familiar friend in whom I trusted,
bWho ate my bread,
Has1 lifted up his heel against me. 
10 But You, O Lord, be merciful to me, and raise me up,
That I may repay them.
11 By this I know that You are well pleased with me,
Because my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 As for me, You uphold me in my integrity,
And aset me before Your face forever. 
13 aBlessed be the Lord God of Israel
From everlasting to everlasting!
Amen and Amen.

Psalms 41:8

An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him - debar beliyaal yatsuk bo , a thing, word, or pestilence of Belial, is poured out upon him. His disease is of no common sort; it is a diabolical malady.

He shall rise up no more - His disease is incurable without a miracle; and he is too much hated of God to have one wrought for him. Some apply this to the death and resurrection of Christ; he lieth - he is dead and buried; he shall never rise again from the dead.
