Psalm 35:11–16
Hostile witnesses come forward; they make charges I know nothing about. / They repay me evil for good, to the bereavement of my soul. / Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting, but my prayers returned unanswered.
Psalm 41:9
Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
Psalm 55:12–14, 20, 21
For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide. / But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend. / We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.
Psalm 88:8, 18
You have removed my friends from me; You have made me repulsive to them; I am confined and cannot escape. / You have removed my beloved and my friend; darkness is my closest companion.
