Psalms 27:9 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Hide not thy face far from me Which, in obedience to thy command, I am now seeking. Let me never want the reviving sense of thy favour; love me, and give me to know that thou lovest me. Put not thy servant away in anger Namely, from thy face or presence, or from the place of thy worship. Two ways God and he might be parted, either by God's withdrawing himself from him, which he might do even in the place of his worship; or by God's putting him away from the place of his worship. Against the first he seems to pray in the first clause, and against the latter in this.

Psalms 27:9

9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
