Psalm 41:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
III
11 “But you, Lord, take note of me to raise me up
that I may repay them.”[a]
12 By this I will know you are pleased with me,
that my enemy no longer shouts in triumph over me.
13 In my integrity may you support me
and let me stand in your presence forever.
Footnotes
- 41:11 That I may repay them: the healing itself is an act of judgment through which God decides for the psalmist and against the false friends. The prayer is not necessarily for strength to punish enemies.
