Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 4. Seek the Lord ] Worship the one only Supreme Being, as the only and all-sufficient good for the soul of man.
And his strength ] Man is weak; and needs connection with the strong God that he may be enabled to avoid evil and do good.
Seek his face ] Reconciliation to him. Live not without a sense of his favour.
Evermore. ] Let this be thy chief business. In and above all thy seeking, seek this.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-7 - Our devotion is here stirred up, that we may stir up ourselves to praise God. Seek his strength; that is, his grace; the strength of his Spirit to work in us that which is good, which we cannot do but by strength derived from him, for which he will be sought. Seek to have his favour to eternity, therefore continue seeking it while living in this world; for he will not only be found, but he will reward thos that diligently seek him.
