Even my close friend,
whom I trusted, he who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against
me.
But you, O LORD, have
mercy on me; raise me up, that I may repay them.
I know that you are
pleased with me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
In your integrity you
uphold me and set me in your presence forever.
Praise be to the LORD,
the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
- Psalm 41:9-13 -
NIV
