PSALM 27
THE ARGUMENT
It is apparent from the body of this Psalm, that David was not yet fully delivered from the trouble which his enemies gave him, both by their slanders and other ways. But whether it belong to that history which is reeorded 2Sa_21:15-17, as the Jews conceive, whom some others follow, is wholly uncertain, and not necessary for us to know.
David declareth that God is his only comfort and confidence in all danger, Psa_27:1-3. His hearty desire to be in the house of God, Psa_27:4. The advantage of it, Psa_24:5,6. He prayeth for the light of God’s face, and his salvation, Psa_27:7-12; and from experience others to wait upon him, Psa_27:13,14.
My light, i.e. my counsellor in all my difficulties, and my comforter and deliverer in all my distresses.
The strength of my life, i.e. the supporter and preserver of my life.
