Psalms 41:11
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.
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.
13 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
