Ask for (seek; take refuge in; often appear before—Hebr. darash) the Lord (Yahweh) and his strength (power) [salvation], seek (search, ask; long for – Hebr. baqash) his face (presence) constantly (daily, always, forever). [Ps 105:5] [In Hebrew, two different verbs (darash and baqash) are used, which are translated as "ask for" and "seek." Darash describes a careful search and consists of the three letters dalet, resh and shin. The Hebrew pictograms reinforce the meaning of the words. The letter dalet depicts a door and is often associated with choices and decisions. resh describes the front of a head, and the last letter, shin, represents a tooth, i.e., something that crushes. The word darash lets us understand that it is about an active choice of path where one regularly seeks God's face and his power. Baqash also has three letters (bet, qof and shin), where shin, which illustrates God's power (just as in darash), comes last. Bet is an image of a house and qof represents the back of a head. Baqash depicts a search that starts from a place of residence and thus brings with it God's perspective on existence. The order matters. The first step is to seek the Lord and his strength—with him is salvation, see Ps. 3:8. From that position, the prayer is then to remain in God's presence. The original meaning of the last Hebrew word tamid comes from the verb for "to stretch/extend," i.e., to constantly, continually, always, and forever seek God. The Lord, his face, and his strength belong together. If God himself turns his face toward us, who can be against us, see Num. 6:26; Rom. 8:31.]
