The psalm reads:ĩ Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.ġ0 But thou, O Lord, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.ġ1 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.ġ2 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.ġ3 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting.
He was referring to a psalm that carries the same foreboding sense as Jesus’s own words. Jesus said:ġ2 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition that the scripture might be fulfilled (John 17:12). However, there is one line in the prayer that sticks out as different from all the rest. Most of it was positive as he reviewed his relationships with his trusted friends.
Jesus’s Intercessory Prayer was very much a final report to his Father.
