Psalms 27:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 27:2
When enemies came 'to eat up my flesh,' they 'stumbled and fell.' The imagery of cannibalistic enemies depicts their voracious hatred, yet God overthrows them. Reformed theology sees divine sovereignty in providence: God orchestrates enemy defeat, turning their own schemes against them. The past tense ('stumbled and fell') expresses prophetic certainty—what God has decreed is as good as accomplished. Faith speaks of future deliverance as past fact because God's promises are utterly reliable.
