Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer,.... As this psalm is called, in the title of it; his own prayer, and not another's, not one composed for him, but what was composed by him; this petition is repeated, as to the sense of it, from
Psa 86:1
to show his importunity to be heard:
and attend to the voice of my supplications; which proceeded from the spirit of grace and supplication, put up in an humble manner, in a dependence on the mercy of God, which the word used has the signification of, and were attended with thanksgiving,
Psa 86:12
, according to the apostle's rule,
Phi 4:6
, these were vocal prayers, and not mere mental ones; see
Heb 5:7
.
