Psalm 27:2

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, They stumbled and fell.

See the chapter Copy

And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: For in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? Who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

When mine enemies are turned back, They shall fall and perish at thy presence.

Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

Why do ye persecute me as God, And are not satisfied with my flesh?

For dogs have compassed me: The assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: They pierced my hands and my feet.

The sorrows of death compassed me, And the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? Who eat up my people as they eat bread: They have not called upon God.
