Context of Psalms 41:11
9Even my special friend has turned against me. He was someone that I trusted. I often ate food with him in my home. 10But you, Lord, please be kind to me. Raise me up to be well again. Then I can punish my enemies as they have punished me. They have not won against me, so I know that you are pleased with me! 12You continue to help me because I do what is right. You will let me stay near to you for ever. 13Let us all praise the Lord, who is Israel's great God! Yes, praise him now and for ever! Amen! Amen!
