Psalm 41:6 in context
4I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
6And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

8An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
