Some are saying: “Some vile disease has gotten hold of him.
    The bed he lies in will be his deathbed.”
Even my best friend, my confidant
    who has eaten my bread will stab me in the back.[a]

    Extend Your gracious hand, and help me up.
    I need to pay them back for what they’ve done to me.

    raise me up,(E) that I may repay(F) them.
