Psalm 41

It must have been difficult to be the second king of Israel. Those who allied themselves with Saul hated David because their privileges were gone. When David became sick his enemies spread rumors of his demise. They longed for his death and looked forward to the change of a new ruler; changes that they expected to weigh in their favor. But God was on David's side. Though even some close to him would betray their king, God would not. That is where David put his hope.
