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.
Hide not thy face - in contrast to the finding God's "face" in spirit, which is promised to them that "seek" it (Psalms 27:8).
Put not thy servant away - the plea of the prayer: since I am "thy servant," put me 'not away from thee, which is the portion, not of thy servants, but of the wicked (John 12:26; Matthew 25:41).
Thou hast been my help - Hebrew, 'thou hast been and art (always) х haayiytaa (H1961)] my help.'
O God of my salvation - Hebrew, 'My salvation-God;' not only a Saviour, but salvation itself to me.
