Psalm 41:9

Victory In Spite Of Betrayal

⁸ “A wicked thing is poured out upon him,
That when he lies down, he will not rise up again.”
⁹ Even my close friend in whom I trusted,
Who ate 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.
