Psalms 27:11 - Exposition

Teach me thy way, O Lord (comp. Psalms 25:3 , and the comment ad loc .). And lead me in a plain path ; literally, a level path — a path traversing a fiat and smooth country, not one where the ground is rugged and beset with rocks and precipices. Because of mine enemies . David's enemies are ever at hand, to swallow him up ( Psalms 56:2 ). If his way be not plain and smooth, it will be to their advantage and to his detriment.
