Psaume 27:11

11 Eternel! enseigne-moi ta voie, Conduis-moi dans le sentier de la droiture, A cause de mes ennemis.

Psaume 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.

Psaume 27:11 In-Context

9 Ne me cache point ta face, Ne repousse pas avec colère ton serviteur! Tu es mon secours, ne me laisse pas, ne m'abandonne pas, Dieu de mon salut!

10 Car mon père et ma mère m'abandonnent, Mais l'Eternel me recueillera.

11 Eternel! enseigne-moi ta voie, Conduis-moi dans le sentier de la droiture, A cause de mes ennemis.

12 Ne me livre pas au bon plaisir de mes adversaires, Car il s'élève contre moi de faux témoins Et des gens qui ne respirent que la violence.

13 Oh! si je n'étais pas sûr de voir la bonté de l'Eternel Sur la terre des vivants!...
