Jesus cites the image of a familiar table companion who turns against him in connection with Judas. Catholic reflection should preserve both dimensions: active mercy toward the vulnerable and faithfulness when relationships fail. The Psalm reveals that the righteous may experience illness and treachery without being forgotten by God. Its concluding praise closes the first book of the Psalter on a note of divine fidelity.
