Psalms27:9

Verſ. 9. Hide not thy face farre from mee] For then it will bee to no purpoſe for mee to ſeek it; eclipſe not thy favour, with-hold not thy ſuccour, but meet mee; yea, prevent mee with thy loving kindneſſe. Tantum velis, & Deus tibi preoccurret, ſaith an Ancient.

Put not thy Servant away in anger] Thy Servant I am, though a ſinfull ſervant, and ſuch as provoketh thee to diſpleaſure; nevertheleſſe reject mee not as thou haſt done Saul, and ſundry others, for their miſdoings. So 2 Sam. 24.16. take away the iniquity of thy ſervant: and to prove himſelf ſo, hee addeth, For I have done fooliſhly; As ſome godly learned think, hereby intimating, that if hee deſerved not to be called Gods ſervant in regard of his late ſin; yet in regard of his latter ſervice of confeſſion. God puts away many in anger for their ſuppoſed goodneſſe; but not any at all for their confeſſed badneſſe.

Thou haſt been my help, leave mee not, &c.] It is a good note that one giveth upon theſe words; The godly many times have ſuch earneſt affections in prayer, that they can hardly content themſelves with any words, to expreſſe their minds with-all.
