2. Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble. Reserve thy frowns for other times when I can bear them better, if,
indeed, I can ever bear them; but now in my heavy distress, favor me with looks
of compassion. Incline thine ear unto me. Bow thy greatness to my
weakness. If because of sin thy face is turned away, at least let me have a
side view of thee; lend me thine ear if I may not see thine eye. Turn thyself
to me again if my sin has turned thee away. In the day when I call answer me speedily. Because the case is urgent, and my soul little able to wait. We
may ask to have answers to prayer as soon as possible, but we may not complain
of the Lord if he should think it more wise to delay. If it be important that
the deliverance should arrive at once, we are quite right in making an early
time a point of our intreaty, for God is as wining to grant us a favor now as
tomorrow. When answers come upon the heels of our prayers they are all the more
encouraging.
