Psalms 27:7
Compare all
5 For ain the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall bset me high upon a rock. 
6 And now amy head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of1 joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord. 
7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
9 aDo not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation. 
10 aWhen my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the Lord will take care of me. 
11 aTeach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies. 
12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For afalse witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence. 
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
aIn the land of the living. 
14 aWait1 on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!

Psalms 27:7

Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice - This earnest prayer seems to have been prompted by a returning sense of danger. He had had assurance of the divine favor. He had found God ready to help him. He did not doubt but that He would aid him; yet all this did not prevent his calling upon Him for the aid which he needed, but rather stimulated him to do it. With all the deep-felt conviction of his heart that God was ready and willing to assist him, he still felt that he had no reason to hope for His aid unless he called upon Him. The phrase "when I cry with my voice" refers to the fact that he prayed audibly or aloud. It was not mental prayer, but that which found expression in the language of earnest entreaty.
