American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Mine enemies speak evil against me, saying,When will he die, and his name perish?
And if he come to see me, he speaketh falsehood;His heart gathereth iniquity to itself:When he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
All that hate me whisper together against me;Against me do they devise my hurt.
{Or, Some wicked thing}An evil disease, say they, {Or, is poured out upon him}cleaveth fast unto him;And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,Who did eat of my bread,Hath lifted up his heel against me.
But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up,That I may requite them.
