EXPLANATION

Verse 6. The face. Hebrew “Thy face, O Jacob, always.” Saint Jerome—Prot. (marg. God of) Jacob. Selah. Bible.—Thus they intimate that the Hebrew is imperfect. All the preceding virtues belong to Jesus Christ, who obtained mercy for us. The generation of Adam multiplied, (Genesis 5:1) and soon forgot the Lord: but it shall not be so with the disciples of Christ, who must delight in fervent prayer, and in the constant practice of good works; and not merely serve him in certain fits of devotion. Bert. See Proverbs 29:26. Menochius.
