Psalm 41: Bad friends
I thought I had good friends
but now when I need them most
they have turned against me.
To my face they pretend to be nice
but behind my back they lie about me,
whisper and spread rumours about me.
Even my best friend – we shared so much!
my very best friend – Lord, it hurts so much!
Dear God, be my friend now, hold me up.
Forgive me, for sometimes I’m a bad friend too.
But you are always there, always loving me.
Blessed be God, from everlasting to everlasting.
