Psalm 27: Faithful people call out for the LORD to keep them safe from evildoers.

In Psalm 27, faithful people call out for the LORD to keep them safe from evildoers, foes, enemies, and adversaries, who would destroy them by any means.

1-3 – Psalm 27 begins with an acknowledgment that the safety of the worshippers comes from the LORD.

4-6 – The singer presents a picture of safety in the LORD’s sanctuary as a means of demonstrating the LORD’s protection for his faithful covenant people.

7-12 – The singer cries out for continued favor of the LORD. The deliverance asked for is for the purpose of continuing to seek God. Verse 8a – “seek my face” is a command to many. Verse 8b - “your face, LORD, do I seek,” is a personal response.

13-14 – The singer admonishes each of the worshippers to live in continued confidence and trust in the LORD. To wait for the LORD is to look to him with dependence and trust; this is what enables one to be strong and courageous.
