He went out and spoke to the same purpose. 8All my enemies whispered together against me: they devised evils to me. 9They determined against me an unjust word: shall he that sleepeth rise again no more? 10For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me. 11But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again: and I will requite them. 12By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: because my enemy shall not rejoice over me. 13But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: and hast established me in thy sight for ever. 14Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. So be it. So be it. ‹Previous chapterPsalms 39Next chapterPsalms 41›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsPsalms 40 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
