Psalm 55:12-13 - Betrayed

If an enemy were insulting me,
     I could endure it;
if a foe were rising against me,
     I could hide.
But it is you, a man like myself,
     my companion, my close friend,

Have you ever been betrayed by a friend or someone close to you? This is a pain deeper than most. David and the Lord both know this pain. In verse 22 we are reassured, "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken."

Lord, thank you for sustaining us, even through betrayal. Please help us to remain righteous, always. Amen.
