Psalms24:6

6. This is the generation of them that seek him , that seek thy face , ‖ O Jacob r Selah.

The true Progeny which God regards. Whereby he reflects upon them, who boasted of and trusted to their curnal Generation, or Descent from Iacob.

To wit, God, mentioned in the end of v. 5. or his Face, as it is more fully expressed in the next Clause. (i. e.) That make it their Care and Study to know him and his Mind, and Will, and to please and serve him, as this Phrase is usually understood.

(i. e.) His Face, by a familiar Change of the Person; of which many Instances have been already Noted, and his Face, (i. e.) His Grace and Favour, which is oft called God's Face, as Gen. 4. 14. Exod. 33. 14, 15. Psal. 16. 11. and 17. 2. and 44. 3. And so this Phrase is used, 2 Chron. 7. 14. Psal. 27. 8. Hos. 5. 15.
