Psalm 27:11

11 O Signore, insegnami la tua via, E giudami per un sentiero piano, Per cagione de’ miei nemici.

Psalm 27:11 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 27:11

Teach me thy way, O Lord
Of providence, grace, and duty; (See Gill on Psalms 25:4);

and lead me in a plain path:
as the path of truth is to those that understand and find knowledge; and as the way of holiness is, even to such who in other things are fools, but shall not err therein, ( Proverbs 8:9 ) ( Isaiah 35:8 ) ; or the path of righteousness, in which Christ, the wisdom of God, and shepherd of his people, leads them, ( Psalms 23:3 ) ( Proverbs 8:20 ) ;

because of mine enemies,
or "those that observe me"; who eyed him as Saul did, ( 1 Samuel 18:9 ) ; and waited for his halting, as Jeremiah's familiars did for him; and lay in wait to deceive him, and lead him out of the way, as false teachers do; and come upon him at an unawares, and take every advantage against him, as Satan does.

Psalm 27:11 In-Context

9 Non nascondere il tuo volto da me, Non rigettare in ira il tuo servitore; Tu sei stato il mio aiuto; non lasciarmi, e non abbandonarmi, O Dio della mia salute.

10 Quantunque mio padre e mia madre mi avessero abbandonato, Pure il Signore mi accoglierà.

11 O Signore, insegnami la tua via, E giudami per un sentiero piano, Per cagione de’ miei nemici.

12 Non darmi alle voglie de’ miei nemici; Perciocchè son surti contro a me falsi testimoni, Ed uomini che audacemente parlano di violenza.

13 Oh! se non avessi creduto di vedere i beni del Signore, Nella terra de’ viventi!
