Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 16. - Make thy face to shine upon thy servant. This expression is first used in the blessing of Moses (Numbers 6:25). Its intrinsic beauty and poetry recommended it to the psalmists, with whom it recurs frequently (camp. Psalm 4:6; Psalm 67:1; Psalm 80:5, 7, 19; Psalm 119:135). It may be regarded as equivalent to "Be thou favourable and gracious unto thy servant." Save me for thy mercies' sake; literally, save me in thy mercy.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) Make thy face to shine.--As in Psalm 4:6, an echo of the priestly blessing. (Numbers 6:24-26.)
