Psalms 27:4

Context

27:4 I have asked the Lord for one thing –

this is what I desire!

I want to live 1  in the Lord’s house 2  all the days of my life,

so I can gaze at the splendor 3  of the Lord

and contemplate in his temple.

Psalms 27:9

Context

27:9 Do not reject me! 4 

Do not push your servant away in anger!

You are my deliverer! 5 

Do not forsake or abandon me,

O God who vindicates me!

1 tn Heb “my living.”

2 sn The Lord’s house. This probably refers to the tabernacle (if one accepts Davidic authorship) or the temple (see Judg 19:18; 1 Sam 1:7, 24; 2 Sam 12:20; 1 Kgs 7:12, 40, 45, 51).

3 tn Or “beauty.”

4 tn Heb “do not hide your face from me.” The idiom “hide the face” can mean “ignore” (see Pss 10:11; 13:1; 51:9) or carry the stronger idea of “reject” (see Pss 30:7; 88:14).

5 tn Or “[source of] help.”
