Salmos 41:7-13

7 Congregados murmuraban contra mí todos los que me aborrecían; contra mí pensaban mal, diciendo de mí

8 Cosa de Belial de él se ha apoderado; y el que cayó en cama, no volverá a levantarse

9 Aun el varón de mi paz, en quien yo confiaba, el que comía mi pan, engrandeció contra mí el calcañar

10 Mas tú, SEÑOR, ten misericordia de mí, y hazme levantar, y les daré el pago

11 En esto habré conocido que te he agradado, que mi enemigo no se holgará de mí

12 En cuanto a mí, en mi integridad me has sustentado, y me has asentado delante de ti para siempre

13 Bendito sea el SEÑOR, el Dios de Israel, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén y Amén

Salmos 41:7-13 Meaning and Commentary

To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David. In this psalm is a prophecy concerning Christ, and concerning Judas Iscariot, as runs part of the title in the Syriac version; and in the Arabic version it is called a prophecy concerning the incarnation, and the salutation of Judas; and certain it is that Psalm 41:9 is to be understood of him, and of his betraying Christ into the hands of his enemies, since it is cited and applied to him by our Lord himself, John 13:18; so that having such a sure rule of interpretation, we may safely venture to explain the whole psalm of Christ, which treats both of his humiliation and exaltation; for it neither agrees with David wholly, nor with Hezekiah, to whom some ascribe it, as Theodoret remarks.
