Psalms 51:9

Verse Psalms 51:9. Hide thy face from my sins] The sentiment here is nearly the same as that in Psalms 51:3: His sin was ever before his own face; and he knew that the eye of God was constantly upon him, and that his purity and justice must be highly incensed on the account. He therefore, with a just horror of his transgressions, begs God to turn away his face from them, and to blot them out, so that they may never more be seen. Psalms 51:1.
