Hide not thy face (far) from me, veiling it from the prayer of the believer; put not Thy servant away in anger, thrusting him aside as unworthy; Thou hast been my Help, and the former mercy and love emboldens David to plead against rejection. Leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. It is the cry of Jacob: "I will not let Thee go except Thou bless me," Genesis 32:26, a call which holds the Lord to the promise of His salvation.
Verse Psalms 27:9. _HIDE NOT THY FACE - FROM ME_] As my face is towards thee wheresoever I am, so let thy face be turned towards me. In a Persian MS. poem entitled [Persic] _Shah we Gudda_, "The King...

In Psalms 27 we have two distinct parts, and, I apprehend, then in the last two Verses (Psa 27:21-22) the result for the mind of the saint as taught of God. The first part, Verses 1-6 (Psalms 27:1-6),...
