Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,
who ate bread with me,
has lifted up his heel against me.

Psalms 41:9 in context
Psalms 41:6–12
6
If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood.
His heart gathers iniquity to itself.
When he goes abroad, he tells it.
7
All who hate me whisper together against me.
They imagine the worst for me.
8
“An evil disease”, they say, “has afflicted him.
Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”

that I may repay them.

By this I know that you delight in me,
because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.

As for me, you uphold me in my integrity,
and set me in your presence forever.
