"Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
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 .
