Victory over Betrayal
(John 13:18–30)
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
Blessed is the one who cares for the poor; Pro 19:17Pro 14:212Co 9:8-14Act 20:35Mat 25:34-39Psa 37:39-40Jas 2:13Heb 6:10
the LORD will deliver him in the day of trouble.
The LORD will protect and preserve him; Jer 45:4-5Psa 27:121Ti 4:8Psa 33:19Psa 37:32-33Psa 128:1-6Psa 140:8-9Psa 37:22
He will bless him in the land
and refuse to surrender him
to the will of his foes.
The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness 2Ki 20:5-6Php 2:26-27Psa 73:262Co 4:16-172Ki 1:162Ki 1:6
and restore him from his bed of sickness.
I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; Psa 103:3Jas 5:15-16Hos 6:12Ch 30:18-20Psa 147:3Psa 32:5Psa 6:2-4Psa 51:1-4
heal me, for I have sinned against You.”
My enemies say with malice: Pro 10:7Psa 102:8Psa 38:12Job 20:7Job 18:17Psa 22:6-8
“When will he die and be forgotten?”
My visitor speaks falsehood; Psa 12:2Luk 11:53-54Pro 26:24-26Luk 20:20-232Co 11:26Dan 11:27Jer 20:10Mic 7:5-7
he gathers slander in his heart;
he goes out and spreads it abroad.
All who hate me whisper against me; Pro 16:28Mat 22:15Mat 26:3-4Psa 56:5-62Co 12:20Pro 26:20Psa 31:13Rom 1:29
they imagine the worst for me:
“A vile disease has been poured into him; Luk 13:16Mat 27:41-46Psa 71:11Job 2:7-8Mat 27:63-64Psa 3:2Psa 38:3-7
he will never get up from where he lies!”
Even my close friend whom I trusted, Jhn 13:18Psa 55:12-14Mat 26:23Jhn 13:26-27Psa 55:20-22Jer 20:10Job 19:192Sa 15:12
the one who shared my bread,
has lifted up his heel against me. 1
But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, Luk 19:27Psa 109:6-21Psa 18:37-42Psa 21:8-10Psa 3:3Psa 57:1Psa 69:22-28
that I may repay them.
By this I know that You delight in me, Col 2:15Psa 124:6Jer 20:13Psa 147:11Psa 25:2Psa 31:8Psa 86:17Psa 13:4
for my enemy does not triumph over me.
In my integrity You uphold me Job 36:7Psa 73:23-24Jhn 17:24Psa 34:15Psa 37:17Psa 25:21Psa 63:8Psa 16:11
and set me in Your presence forever.
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, Psa 72:18-19Eph 1:3Rev 4:8Rev 5:9-14Psa 89:52Psa 106:48Psa 150:6Rev 7:12
from everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and Amen.
