An Echo of Obedience
Commentators highlight the immediate and heartfelt nature of the psalmist's response. When God gives a general command, "Seek ye my face," the faithful heart echoes back a personal commitment, "Thy face, Lord, will I seek." Scholars compare this to a seal impressing wax, showing a heart that is sensitive and ready to be shaped by God's voice without delay or excuse.
