Psalm 41:5 Context

◄ Psalm 41:5 ►

My enemies say with malice: "When will he die and be forgotten?"

Context

5My enemies speak evil against me,
“When will he die, and his name perish?”

6And when he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood;
His heart gathers wickedness to itself;
When he goes outside, he tells it.

7All who hate me whisper together against me;
Against me they devise my hurt, saying,

8“A wicked thing is poured out upon him,
That when he lies down, he will not rise up again.”

9Even my close friend in whom I trusted,
Who ate my bread,
Has lifted up his heel against me.

10But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up,
That I may repay them.

11By this I know that You are pleased with me,
Because my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.

12As for me, You uphold me in my integrity,
And You set me in Your presence forever.

13Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,
From everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and Amen.
