NET Notes: Psa 27:11

¹ tn Heb “teach me your way.” The Lord’s “way” refers here to the moral principles which he expects the psalmist to follow. See Ps 25:4.

² sn The level path refers to God’s moral principles (see the parallel line), which, if followed, will keep the psalmist blameless before his accusers (see v. 12).

³ tn Heb “because of those who watch me [with evil intent].” See also Pss 5:8; 54:5; 56:2.
