Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 1. - God be merciful unto us, and bless us. An echo of the priestly blessing (Numbers 6:24, 25), but not necessarily uttered by a priest. The substitution of Elohim for Jehovah is natural, considering the universalist character of the psalm. And cause his face to shine upon us; literally, with us. "With us" especially, as the people of God; but not "with us" exclusively, as the whole psalm makes manifest.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(1) This verse is an adaptation of the priestly benediction (Numbers 6:24-26).Upon us.--Rather, with, or among us; a variation from the formal benediction.
