Psalms 27:1-14.-David's fearless confidence amidst dangers, because Yahweh is his salvation. Dwelling by faith in God's temple, he is secure, and will sing triumphant praises (Psalms 27:1-6); prayer that God will not hide His face, but make the path of deliverance plain (Psalms 27:7-12); conclusion sets forth the main thought (Psalms 27:13-14).
