Psalm 27: Psalm of David

The psalm has major themes

  1. Reliance on the Lord (verses Psalm 27: 1-3) “Hope” in the Lord (Psalm 27: 4-6)
  2. Prayer for mercy, and guidance (verses Psalm 27: 7-12)
  3. Exhortation to be patient (verses Psalm 27: 13-14)

Theme 1- Reliance on the Lord.

What jumps out at you regarding the language used in verses Psalm 27: 1-3?
What image comes to your mind in verse 2?
“When evildoers close in on me to devour me, it is my enemies, my assailants, who stumble and fall” (NEB)

Theme 2 – Prayer

Why would God not answer David’s prayer? (verse7)
Why would God hide his face (verse 9)?
What do think the “level path” means in verse 11?

Theme 3 – Exhortation for patience

How should we react when the “goodness of the Lord” does not seem to be appearing in this life?

Group Questions

How has the Lord been a “stronghold” or a “light” in your life the past month?

Do you naturally seek “refuge” in the Lord?  What life circumstances drive you to seek refuge with the Lord?
