Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
All Commentaries on Psalms 27:3 Go To Psalms 27
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
This; God's protection (Haydock) and light, (Menochius) or in the very heat of battle: prælium. Septuagint express the Hebrew feminine pronoun, as they do with the Vulgate, ver. 4, unam. There is no neuter in Hebrew, which commonly uses the feminine, instead. (Calmet)
It may be deemed too scrupulous an exactitude, to express this in a version. The word petition may be understood. (Berthier) (Menochius)
The one petition of David comprised every blessing; as he had his mind bent on heaven. (Du Hamel)
