Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 27:8

Psalms 27:8. When thou saidst, Seek ye my face, &c.— The words, when thou saidst are not in the original. Bishop Hare inserts the word אלהים elohim, and reads it thus, To thee, O my soul, God said, Seek ye my face; thy face, Lord, I will seek. Houbigant renders it, To thee said my heart, seek ye my face; thy face, Lord, will I seek. read more

The secret of his confidence is his delight in communion with God (Psalms 16:11; Psalms 23:6), beholding the harmony of His perfections, and seeking His favor in His temple or palace; a term applicable to the tabernacle (compare Psalms 23:6- :).
