Context of Psalms 41:11
9“Something evil was poured into him— he will not get up again from the place where he lies.” 10Even my own close friend, whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me. But You, Adonai, have mercy on me, and raise me up, so I may repay them. 12By this I know that You delight in me: that my enemy does not shout in triumph over me. 13You uphold me in my integrity and set me before Your face forever.
