Cause thy face to shine. — See Numbers 6:25. The meaning is “let thy works show the fulfilment of “thy Word.”
For the Lord’s sake. — Comp. Daniel 9:19, “because Thou art the Lord.” Never does prayer rise higher, than when the soul humbly appeals to God as the sovereign lord of all, and patiently waits for Him to do as He pleases. (Comp. Psalms 44:9-26.)
