Psalm 27:2

Tree of Life Version

When evildoers approached me to devour my flesh —my adversaries and my foes— they stumbled and fell.

See the chapter Copy

Many among them will stumble, fall, and be broken, snared and caught.

They swarmed around me like bees— they were extinguished like burning thorns— in the Name of Adonai I cut them off.

“Will evildoers never understand— those who consume My people as they eat bread— and never call on Adonai?”

I will be glad and rejoice in You. I will sing praise to Your Name, Elyon!

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people all around who have taken their stand against me.

Why do you pursue me—like God? Are you not satisfied with my flesh?

My strength is dried up like a clay pot, my tongue clings to my jaws. You lay me in the dust of death.

I called upon Adonai, worthy of praise, and I was rescued from my enemies.

if anyone in my household has ever said, ‘Who has not been filled with his meat?’

All have turned aside— together they have become corrupt. There is no one who does good— no, not even one!
