41:8 They say, 1
‘An awful disease 2 overwhelms him, 3
and now that he is bed-ridden he will never recover.’ 4
41:9 Even my close friend 5 whom I trusted,
he who shared meals with me, has turned against me. 6
41:10 As for you, O Lord, have mercy on me and raise me up,
so I can pay them back!” 7
41:11 By this 8 I know that you are pleased with me,
for my enemy does 9 not triumph 10 over me.
41:12 As for me, you uphold 11 me because of my integrity; 12
you allow 13 me permanent access to your presence. 14
41:13 The Lord God of Israel deserves praise 15
in the future and forevermore! 16
We agree! We agree! 17
