Salmi 17:6

Salmi 17:6 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 17:6

I have called upon thee
In prayer. This had been the constant practice of the psalmist, and he still continued in it;

for thou wilt hear me, O God;
God is a God hearing prayer; he is used to hear his people, and they have frequent experience of it, and they may be assured that whatsoever they ask according to his will, and in the name of Christ, he will hear; and such an assurance is a reason engaging the saints to a constant calling upon God, ( Psalms 116:2 ) ; and such confidence of being always heard Christ had, ( John 11:41 John 11:42 ) ;

incline thine ear unto me, [and hear] my speech;
meaning his prayer, which he now directed to him in full assurance of being heard, and is as follows.

Salmi 17:6 In-Context

4 Nelle opere degli uomini, per la parola della tue labbra, Io mi son guardato dalle vie de’ violenti.

5 Sostieni i miei passi ne’ tuoi sentieri, Acciocchè i miei piedi non vacillino.

6 Io t’invoco, o Dio, perciocchè tu mi esaudisci; Inchina a me il tuo orecchio, ascolta le mie parole.

7 Dimostra maravigliose le tue benignità, O tu, che, con la tua destra, salvi quelli che si confidano in te, Da quelli che si levano contro a loro.

8 Guardami come la pupilla dell’occhio, Nascondimi sotto l’ombra delle tue ale,
