Psalms 41:9-13 New Century Version (NCV)

9. My best and truest friend, who ate at my table,has even turned against me.

10. Lord, have mercy on me.Give me strength so I can pay them back.

11. Because my enemies do not defeat me,I know you are pleased with me.

12. Because I am innocent, you support meand will let me be with you forever.

13. Praise the Lord, the God of Israel.He has always been,and he will always be.Amen and amen.
