Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek. The order of the words in the original is as follows: "To thee said my heart - Seek ye my face - thy face, Lord, will I seek." And the full meaning seems to he, "To thee said my heart - Hast thou said unto men, Seek ye my face? I for one will obey thee - Thy face, Lord, will I seek." The command, "Seek ye my face," had been given by David to the people on the day that he set up the ark upon Mount Zion (1 Chronicles 16:11). It was probably regarded as implied in Deuteronomy 4:29.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) When thou saidst.--The margin rightly rejects these words, and restores the order of the Hebrew; but the text of the Authorised Version really gives its meaning.The thought seems borrowed from seeking admission to a royal personage to ask a favour.
