Psalm 27
1. David sustains his faith by prayer














(11) Enemies.--Comp. Psalm 56:2; Psalm 54:7; Psalm 59:10-11. Ewald, "malignant liers in wait"; so Aquila.

Verse 11. - Teach me thy way, O Lord (comp. Psalm 25:3, and the comment ad loc.). And lead me in a plain path; literally, a level path - a path traversing a fiat and smooth country, not one where the ground is rugged and beset with rocks and precipices. Because of mine enemies. David's enemies are ever at hand, to swallow him up (Psalm 56:2). If his way be not plain and smooth, it will be to their advantage and to his detriment.
