Psalm 41:11

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Then my enemies won't defeat me, and I will know that you really care.

See the chapter Copy

Let's praise the LORD! He protected us from enemies who were like wild animals,

My enemies will say, “Now we've won!” They will be greatly pleased when I am defeated.

The LORD is pleased only with those who worship him and trust his love.

and I trust you. Don't make me ashamed or let enemies defeat me.

You kept me from the hands of my enemies, and you set me free.

or say to each other, “Now we've got what we want! We'll gobble him up!”

Show that you approve of me! Then my hateful enemies will feel like fools, because you have helped and comforted me.

I sing praises to you, LORD. You rescue the oppressed from the wicked.

There Christ defeated all powers and forces. He let the whole world see them being led away as prisoners when he celebrated his victory.
