Psalms 41:10
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.
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.
12 In my integrity You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
