Context of Psalms 27:9
7Hear, Jehovah; with my voice do I call; be gracious unto me, and answer me. 8My heart said for thee, Seek ye my face. Thy face, O Jehovah, will I seek. Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. 10For had my father and my mother forsaken me, then had Jehovah taken me up. 11Teach me thy way, Jehovah, and lead me in an even path, because of mine enemies.

Commentaries on Psalms 27:9
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 9Hide 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 Shah we Gudda, "The King and the Beggar," I have found a remarkable couplet, most strangely and artificially involved, which expresses exactly the same sentiment one meaning of which is: - Our face is towards Thee in all our ways; Thy face is towards us in all our intentions. Something similar, though not the same…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9Hide not thy face far from me - Compare the notes at Psalm 4:6. To “hide the face” is to turn it away with displeasure, as if we would not look on one who has offended us. The favor of God is often expressed by “lifting the light of his countenance” upon anyone - looking complacently or “pleasedly” upon him.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 7-14Verses 7-14 Wherever the believer is, he can find a way to the throne of grace by prayer. God calls us by his Spirit, by his word, by his worship, and by special providences, merciful and afflicting. When we are foolishly making court to lying vanities, God is, in love to us, calling us to seek our own mercies in him. The call is general, "Seek ye my face;" but we must apply it to ourselves, "I will seek it." The word does us no good, when we do not…Read the comment
