Psalm 27

By Liam Warner ’21. Liam is a junior in Adams concentrating in Classics.

Psalm 27, like many of the non-penitential psalms, gives upon first reading a very triumphant impression…The attitude strikes the reader as verging on haughty, foolishly unaware of how easy it is to lapse into sin. The only risk, it seems, is that God will withdraw His hand from us or turn us over to our enemies, from both of which we ask Him to refrain.
