Context of Psalms 41:10
8“A vile disease has been poured into him; he will never get up from where he lies!” 9Even 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. 11By this I know that You delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me. 12In my integrity You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever.
