Psalms [Praises] 41:8-12

⁸“An evil disease,” they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”

⁹Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.

¹⁰But you, Adonai , have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.

¹¹By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.

¹²As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.
