Psalm 27:7

7 Höre, Jehova, mit meiner Stimme rufe ich; und sei mir gnädig und erhöre mich!

Psalm 27:7 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 27:7

Hear, O Lord, [when] I cry with my voice
Which is to be understood of prayer, and that in the time of distress; and of vocal prayer, as distinguished from mental prayer; and the phrase denotes the vehemency and intenseness of it: and the request is, that the Lord would hear it; not only as he is omniscient and omnipresent, and so hears the prayers of all, good and bad; but as a God gracious and merciful, who sometimes very quickly hears, and answers in a gracious way, and sometimes seems to turn a deaf car, to shut out the prayers of his people, and cover himself with a cloud, that they should not pass through, or, however, defers an answer to it for a little while; yet, sooner or later, he always shows himself a God hearing prayer;

have mercy also upon me;
by delivering him out of his temporal distresses, and by forgiving his iniquities;

and answer me;
by speaking a word in season; commanding off the affliction he lay under, and by saying to him that his sins were forgiven him.

Psalm 27:7 In-Context

5 Denn er wird mich bergen in seiner Hütte am Tage des Übels, er wird mich verbergen in dem Verborgenen seines Zeltes; auf einen Felsen wird er mich erhöhen.

6 Und nun wird mein Haupt erhöht sein über meine Feinde rings um mich her; und Opfer des Jubelschalls will ich opfern in seinem Zelte, ich will singen und Psalmen singen Jehova.

7 Höre, Jehova, mit meiner Stimme rufe ich; und sei mir gnädig und erhöre mich!

8 Von dir hat mein Herz gesagt: Du sprichst: Suchet mein Angesicht! Dein Angesicht, Jehova, suche ich.

9 Verbirg dein Angesicht nicht vor mir, weise nicht ab im Zorne deinen Knecht! Du bist meine Hilfe gewesen; laß mich nicht und verlaß mich nicht, Gott meines Heils!
