Psalm 41:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

⁶ If they come to see me,
    they don’t say what they are really thinking.
They come to gather a little gossip
    and then go to spread their rumors.
⁷ Those who hate me whisper about me.
    They think the worst about me.
⁸ They say, “He did something wrong.
    That is why he is sick.
    He will never get well.”
