Psalm 27:2

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

In the drawing near of those doing evil to me, to eat my flesh, adversaries and enemies to me, they were weak and fell

See the chapter Copy

And many fainted among them and fell, and were broken, and snared, and taken.

They surrounded me as bees; they were quenched as the fire of thorns: in the name of Jehovah for I will destroy them.

Did not the workers of vanity know? eating my people they ate bread; they called not Jehovah.

In the turning away of mine enemies backward, they shall be weak and perish from thy face.

Arise, O Jehovah; save me, my God, for thou didst strike all mine enemies upon the cheek; thou didst break the teeth of the unjust.

Why will ye pursue me as God, and will ye not be satisfied from my flesh?

For dogs surrounded me: the assembly of those being evil moved round about me: they digged my hands and my feet

The pains of death surrounded me, and the torrents of Belial made me afraid.

If the men of my tent said not, Who will give from his flesh? We shall not be satisfied.

Did not those transgressing know any thing? eating up my people, they ate bread: they called not upon God.
