Domine, ad adjuvandum me festina.
Confundantur, et revereantur, qui qu�runt animam meam.
Avertantur retrorsum, et erubescant, qui volunt mihi mala;
avertantur statim erubescentes qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge!
Exsultent et l�tentur in te omnes qui qu�runt te;
et dicant semper: Magnificetur Dominus, qui diligunt salutare tuum.
Ego vero egenus et pauper sum;
Deus, adjuva me.
Adjutor meus et liberator meus es tu;
Domine, ne moreris.]

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And hide not thy face from thy servant,.... This is a character that is frequently given to Christ as Mediator; he is a servant of God's choosing, calling, and appointing; of his sending, bringing forth, and supporting; who is an obedient, diligent, righteous, and prudent one; who always reverenced and honoured him whose servant he was, Isaiah 42:1; now, when he was on the cross, suffering in the room and stead of his people, his Father hid his face from him; which he here deprecates, and desires he would not continue to do, seeing he was his servant, now doing his service, and about to finish it, even the great work of man's redemption; and for a reason following;

for I am in trouble; in straits and difficulties; pressed on every side, enclosed with the assembly of the wicked, who were mocking of him, and with the whole posse of devils, who were throwing their fiery darts at him; having the sins of his people and the curses of a righteous law on him, and the wrath of God in him; and what increased his trouble was, he was forsaken by him;

hear me speedily; or "make haste to hear" e; and answer me; his case required haste; see Psalms 22:19.

e מהר ענני "festina exaudire me", Vatablus.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And hide not thy face from thy servant - See the notes at Psalms 27:9.

For I am in trouble - In the midst of dangers and sorrows. Literally, “there is trouble upon me.”

Hear me speedily - Margin, as in Hebrew, “Make haste to hear me.” That is, Grant me without delay what I ask. The case is one of urgent necessity. I “must” have relief or I shall perish. It is not wrong to ask God to interpose at once in our behalf when we are in trouble, though it is our duty to be patient and resigned if his interposition is delayed, for he may have important ends to accomplish by our continuing to suffer. In our distress on account of sin also, it is right to plead with him to interpose “at once,” and to relieve us by forgiveness. In this respect we are not to be contented with delay; we are to cast ourselves upon his mercy, and to plead for immediate pardon, for as it is our only safety, so it is for the honor of God that we should be forgiven, and that we should not continue in a state of guilt. An afflicted child of God will be safe in the final issue, whether he is relieved at once, or whether he is suddenly cut off by death, or whether he continues to suffer for even many years; but an unpardoned sinner is “not” safe for a moment, and if he should be cut off, unforgiven, even when under the deepest conviction for sin, he would perish. Every consideration, therefore, makes it proper that he should plead for forgiveness at once, and ask that God would not “delay” to show him mercy.
