“Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.”
The psalmist pleads that God would let his face shine upon his servant, the traditional expression for the lifting of God's blessing. The idiom "let your face shine upon me" represents the restored presence of God's favor. The term "servant" emphasizes the psalmist's position of submission and obedience to God. The plea "Save me in your lovingkindness" reiterates the request for deliverance grounded in God's covenantal loyalty. The verse demonstrates that renewed faith naturally leads to renewed petition.
