2 Brenton May the Lord preserve him and keep him alive, and bless him on the earth, and not deliver him into the hands of his enemy. BSB BSB: The LORD will protect and preserve him; He will bless him in the land and refuse to give him over to the will of his foes.
3 Brenton May the Lord help him upon the bed of his pain; thou hast made all his bed in his sickness. BSB BSB: The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness.

5 Brenton Mine enemies have spoken evil against me, saying , When shall he die, and his name perish? BSB BSB: My enemies say with malice: “When will he die and be forgotten?”
6 Brenton And if he came to see me , his heart spoke vainly; he gathered iniquity to himself; he went forth and spoke in like manner. BSB BSB: My visitor speaks falsehood; he gathers slander in his heart; he goes out and spreads it abroad.
