Psalm 27:8
Douay-Rheims
The Lord is the strength of his people, and the protector of the salvation of his anointed.
Augustine of Hippo
This does not refer to the people which was ignorant of God's righteousness and tried to establish its own. Rather, it refers to a different people that did not look to itself for its strength but knew instead that the Lord would be its strength as it contends with the devil in the difficulties of this life.
