‏ Psalms 41:11

Exaltation of the Righteous

Here the psalmist states that only then is he assured that God loves him when God has healed him causing the enemy to be silenced (Psa 41:11). Outwardly, evil seems to prevail when the Lord Jesus is crucified in weakness. The enemies think they have won the victory. But God raised Him from the dead and glorified Him. Because of this, Christ knows that God is pleased with Him and that His enemy will not shout in triumph over Him.

Despite his iniquities, the psalmist can still say that the LORD upholds him in his “integrity” (Psa 41:12). “Integrity” in Hebrew is ‘with all the heart’. Christ is fully assured of the support of God as far as He Himself is concerned. In everything He was complete in His integrity, which means that He was wholeheartedly devoted to God. There has never been anything wrong in Him. Because of this He knows that in the resurrection He will be set by God in His presence, and that “forever”.
