1 To the Overseer. A Psalm of David. In time of trouble – Rendered "evil" in "I create evil." (Isa. 45:7) A125

O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him.
2 Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies.
3 Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.
4 I I said, 'O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,'
5 Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth his name hath perished!
6 And if he came to see vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out at the street he speaketh.
7 All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:
8 A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not again.
9 Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me, Own familiar friend – Judas. R3760:2

Eat of my bread – One who partook of the same supper, common hospitality. R4906:6

Trials from "brethren," some of whom were only weak, and one false at heart, must have been the sorest among our Lord's experiences. R3820:3

Lifted up his heel – The Lord quoted this prophecy, but it did not move Judas to change his course. R4906:6

A radical change from an attitude of love and friendship to an attitude of bitterness and enmity is not an instantaneous, but a gradual, work. R4234:4


10 And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I give recompence to them.
11 By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.
12 As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.
13 Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age and unto the age. Amen and Amen. From everlasting – From all eternity, without any beginning. E86
