¹² Those who seek my life ^(A)lay their snares;
    those who seek my hurt ^(B)speak of ruin
    and meditate ^(C)treachery all day long.

⁵ My enemies say of me in malice,
    “When will he die, and his name perish?”
⁶ And when one comes to see me, ^(A)he utters empty words,
    while his heart gathers iniquity;
    when he goes out, he tells it abroad.
⁷ All who hate me whisper together about me;
    they imagine the worst for me.^[a]
8 They say, “A deadly thing is poured out^[b] on him;
    he will not rise again from where he lies.”
