(A)Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted,
(B)Who ate my bread,
Has [a]lifted up his heel against me.

  1. Psalm 41:9 Acted as a traitor

For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful
Have opened against me;
They have spoken against me with a (A)lying tongue.
They have also surrounded me with words of hatred,
And fought against me (B)without a cause.
In return for my love they are my accusers,
But I give myself to prayer.
Thus (C)they have rewarded me evil for good,
And hatred for my love.

Set a wicked man over him,
And let (D)an [a]accuser stand at his right hand.
When he is judged, let him be found guilty,
And (E)let his prayer become sin.
Let his days be (F)few,
And (G)let another take his office.
(H)Let his children be fatherless,
And his wife a widow.
10 Let his children [b]continually be vagabonds, and beg;
Let them [c]seek their bread also from their desolate places.
11 (I)Let the creditor seize all that he has,
And let strangers plunder his labor.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy to him,
Nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
13 (J)Let his [d]posterity be cut off,
And in the generation following let their (K)name be blotted out.

12 Then I said to them, “If it is [a]agreeable to you, give me my wages; and if not, refrain.” So they (A)weighed out for my wages thirty pieces of silver.

13 And the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the (B)potter”—that princely price they set on me. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the Lord for the potter.
