Psalm 27:2

The Scriptures 1998

When evil-doers come against me To eat up my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, They shall stumble and fall.

See the chapter Copy

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

They surrounded me like bees; They were extinguished like burning thorns; In the Name of יהוה I shall cut them off.

Have all the workers of wickedness no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call on יהוה ?

When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish before You.

Arise, O יהוה ; Save me, O my Elohim! Because You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek; You have broken the teeth of the wrong.

Why do you persecute me like Ě

For dogs have surrounded Me; A crowd of evil ones have encircled Me, Piercing My hands and My feet;

The cords of death surrounded me, And the floods of Beliyaʽ

if the men of my tent did not say, ‘Who is there that has not been satisfied with his meat?’

Have the workers of wickedness no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call on Elohim?
