Commentary on Psalms 27:8

Theological / Devotional

Seek ye my face. This verse is the dialogue of a beautiful fellowship between David and his God. God had said to him: “Seek ye my face.” David reminds God of His command, and from the depths of his heart replies, “I will seek thy face.” Here is intimacy indeed, resembling the friendship that existed between Moses and God (see Ex. 33:11). Precious is that fellowship with God which, in time of need, finds the soul speaking to itself the counsel of God. The preciousness of God’s favor as shown in His face looking upon His children is one of the richest concepts in the Psalter. Compare Num. 6:25.
