NET Notes

¹sn Psalm 27. The author is confident of the Lord’s protection and asks the Lord to vindicate him.

²tn Heb “the Lord [is] my light and my deliverance.” “Light” is often used as a metaphor for deliverance and the life/blessings it brings. See Pss 37:6; 97:11; 112:4; Isa 49:6; 51:4; Mic 7:8. Another option is that “light” refers here to divine guidance (see Ps 43:3).

³tn Heb “Whom shall I fear?” The rhetorical question anticipates the answer, “No one!”

⁴tn Heb “Of whom shall I be afraid?” The rhetorical question anticipates the answer, “No one!”
