Even my close friend,(A)
    someone I trusted,
one who shared my bread,
    has turned[a] against me.(B)

10 But may you have mercy(C) on me, Lord;
    raise me up,(D) that I may repay(E) them.
11 I know that you are pleased with me,(F)
    for my enemy does not triumph over me.(G)
12 Because of my integrity(H) you uphold me(I)
    and set me in your presence forever.(J)

13 Praise(K) be to the Lord, the God of Israel,(L)
    from everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and Amen.(M)

  1. Psalm 41:9 Hebrew has lifted up his heel

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

10 But thou, O Lord, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

11 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

13 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
