The "Penitential Psalm" (Psalm 27) really hit home for me this year

It starts, "For/By David (depending on your translation), HaShem ori v'yish'i, HaShem is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?"  But the third verse from the end says, "Do not abandon me to the will of my foes, for false witnesses have risen against me, breathing violence."  (This is Rabbi Jonathan Sacks' translation).  It seems to me as if everyone and their cousin is accusing Israel of genocide and hoping Israel will just lay down its arms and die.
