Context of Psalms 27:10
8My heart said for thee, Seek ye my face. Thy face, O Jehovah, will I seek. 9Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. For had my father and my mother forsaken me, then had Jehovah taken me up. 11Teach me thy way, Jehovah, and lead me in an even path, because of mine enemies. 12Deliver me not over to the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.

Though every other tie that binds heart to heart should dissolve, this will remain; though a case might occur in which we could not be sure of…Read the comment
