Psalms 27:7-14 - Exposition
The strain now entirely changes. The rhythm alters from a jubilant double beat to a slow and mournful cadence. A cry is raised for mercy and pity—the wrath of God is deprecated—rejection and desertion are contemplated and prayed against ( Psalms 27:7-10 ). The danger from the enemy appears great and formidable ( Psalms 27:11 , Psalms 27:12 ). With an effort of faith, the writer just saves himself from despair ( Psalms 27:14 ), and then, in brave words, braces himself up for further endurance.
