psalms 41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. - Free Bible Online

psalms 41:9 Even my close friend, in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.


      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 (Joh 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.
