Psalms 41:9
Compare all
7 All who hate me whisper together against me;
Against me they1 devise my hurt. 
8 “An1 evil disease,” they say, “clings to him.
And now that he lies down, he will rise up no more.” 
9 aEven my own familiar friend in whom I trusted,
bWho ate my bread,
Has1 lifted up his heel against me. 
10 But You, O Lord, be merciful to me, and raise me up,
That I may repay them.
11 By this I know that You are well pleased with me,
Because my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 As for me, You uphold me in my integrity,
And aset me before Your face forever. 
13 aBlessed be the Lord God of Israel
From everlasting to everlasting!
Amen and Amen.

Psalms 41:9

mine . . . friend—literally, "the man of my peace."

eat . . . bread—who depended on me or was well treated by me.

hath lifted up heel—in scornful violence. As David and his fortunes typified Christ and His (compare Introduction), so these words expressed the treatment he received, and also that of his Son and Lord; hence, though not distinctly prophetical, our Saviour (John 13:18) applies them to Judas, "that the Scripture may be fulfilled." This last phrase has a wide use in the New Testament, and is not restricted to denote special prophecies.
