Read in context

Psalms 41:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 All who hate me whisper against me; they imagine the worst for me:

8 “A vile disease has been poured into him; he will never get up from where he lies!”

9 Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

10 But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, that I may repay them.

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