“You have said, 'Seek my face.' My heart says to you, 'Your face, Lord, do I seek'” (v8). The psalmist’s troubles never ended during his lifetime, but he learned to “hide” himself within God’s care and presence. Through enemy attacks (personal and public, v2-3) and war, he learned to be confident of God’s faithful love. When even his own family failed him (v10), God was revealed as the true Father. The enemy’s purpose would not ultimately succeed, because he was on God’s path (v11).
“Teach me your way, O Lord ... because of my enemies” (v11). Because the world is full of trouble and temptation, the Lord invites us to seek His face, learn His ways, and find security within His abiding presence.
