Psalms 105:4

“Seek the Lord and his strength, etc.] The ark, which is called his strength, and the ark of his strength, (<197861>Psalm 78:61 132:8), because he had shown his great strength by it, in dividing the waters at Jordan, throwing down the walls of Jericho, and plaguing the Philistines because of it, when among them. This was a symbol of God’s presence, before which he was sought by his people; and was a type of our Lord Jesus, the man of God’s right hand, whom he has made strong for himself, and who is called his strength, (<198018>Psalm 80:18 <232705>Isaiah 27:5). Some render it, and which Aben Ezra makes mention of, though he rejects it, “seek the Lord in his strength”; or “by it”: God is to be…”

“Seek the Lord and his strength - Seek strength from him; seek that his strength may be imparted to you; seek him as a Being of almighty power; as One by whom you may be strengthened. The Septuagint and Vulgate render this, “Seek the Lord, and ‘be strengthened.’” Strength comes from God, and it is only by his strength that we can be strong; only by our making use of his omnipotence in our own behaIf that we can discharge the duties, and bear the trials of this life. Compare the notes at Isaiah 40:29-31. Seek his face evermore - His favor. His smiling upon us, his lifting up the light of his countenance, is synonymous with his favor. See Psalms 24:6; Psalms 27:8. Compare the notes at Psalms…”

“Seek - The Lord in his strength, in his sanctuary, or before the ark, which is called God's strength. Face - His gracious presence. Psalms 105:5”

“Seek: Amo 5:4-6; Zep 2:2, Zep 2:3 his strength: Psa 78:61, Psa 132:8; Ch2 6:41 seek his face: Psa 27:8 Psalms 105:5”
