Psaume 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.

Psaume 27:7 In-Context

5 Car il me protégera dans son tabernacle au jour du malheur, Il me cachera sous l'abri de sa tente; Il m'élèvera sur un rocher.

6 Et déjà ma tête s'élève sur mes ennemis qui m'entourent; J'offrirai des sacrifices dans sa tente, au son de la trompette; Je chanterai, je célébrerai l'Eternel.

7 Eternel! écoute ma voix, je t'invoque: Aie pitié de moi et exauce-moi!

8 Mon coeur dit de ta part: Cherchez ma face! Je cherche ta face, ô Eternel!

9 Ne me cache point ta face, Ne repousse pas avec colère ton serviteur! Tu es mon secours, ne me laisse pas, ne m'abandonne pas, Dieu de mon salut!
