6 And if he came to see -- vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out -- at the street he speaketh.
6 And (e)when he comes to see me, he (I)speaks (f)falsehood;His heart gathers wickedness to itself;When he goes outside, he tells it.
6 And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
6 When one of them comes to visit, he speaks deceitfully;he stores up evil in his heart;he goes out and talks.(G)
6 The one who comes to visit me speaks lies; in his heart he thinks slanderous things about me and goes around spreading them.
9 Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,
9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
9 As for my best friend, the one in whom I trusted, the one who ate my bread, even he has insulted me!
11 By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.
11 By this I know that (N)You are pleased with me,Because (O)my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.
11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
11 In this way I will know that you are pleased with me, and that my enemies will not shout in triumph over me.
12 As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.
12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
12 As for me, you will maintain my just cause, and you will cause me to stand in your presence forever.
13 Blessed is Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age -- and unto the age. Amen and Amen.
13 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
13 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, from eternity to eternity. Amen and amen! To the Director: An instruction of the Sons of Korah.
