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 Want Hij versteekt mij in Zijn hut, ten dage des kwaads; Hij verbergt mij in het verborgene Zijner tent; Hij verhoogt mij op een rotssteen.
6 Ook nu zal mijn hoofd verhoogd worden boven mijn vijanden, die rondom mij zijn, en ik zal in Zijn tent offeranden des geklanks offeren; ik zal zingen, ja, psalmzingen den HEERE.
7 Hoor, HEERE! mijn stem, als ik roep; en wees mij genadig, en antwoord mij.
8 Mijn hart zegt tot U: Gij zegt: Zoek Mijn aangezicht; ik zoek Uw aangezicht, o HEERE!
9 Verberg Uw aangezicht niet voor mij, keer Uw knecht niet af in toorn; Gij zijt mijn Hulp geweest, begeef mij niet, en verlaat mij niet, o God mijns heils!
