Psalms 27 7

My Notes Authors Matthew Henry - Commentary on the Whole Bible David in these verses expresses, I. His desire towards God, in many petitions. If he cannot now go up to the house of the Lord, yet, wherever he is, he can find a way to the throne of grace by prayer. He humbly bespeaks, because he firmly believes he shall have, a gracious audience: “Hear, O Lord, when I cry, not only with my heart, but, as one in earnest, with my voice too.” He bespeaks also an answer of peace, which he expects, not from his own merit, but God’s goodness: _Have mercy upon me, and answer me, _v. 7. If we pray and believe, God will graciously hear and answer.
