When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

Psalms 27:10 — KJV

Theological / Devotional

Forsake me. Sometimes parents desert their children, but God never deserts His (see Isa. 49:14, 15 ; 63:16). The verse is a sort of proverb.

Take me up. From the Heb. ’asaph, literally, “to gather.” ’Asaph is used of hospitable reception (see Joshua 20:4; Judges 19:15, 18).
