Psalm 41:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ When someone comes to visit me,
    he utters words without sincerity;
his heart^[a] harbors slander,
    and on departing he gives voice to it.
⁸ “All my enemies whisper against me
    and conjure up the worst in my regard.
⁹ ‘He has a fatal disease,’ they say;
    ‘he will never rise up from his sickbed.’
