Psalms 66:20 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 66:20

Blessed [be] God, which hath not turned away my prayer
Has not been angry against it, shut it out, or covered himself with a cloud that it might not pass through, which sometimes saints have complained of, ( Psalms 80:4 ) ( Lamentations 3:8 Lamentations 3:44 ) ; but graciously heard and received it;

nor his mercy from me;
for that endures for ever, and is from everlasting to everlasting on them that fear the Lord, ( Psalms 103:17 ) ; all which require thankfulness and praise, which is here given.

Psalms 66:20 In-Context

18 If I had been cozy with evil, the Lord would never have listened.
19 But he most surely did listen, he came on the double when he heard my prayer.
20 Blessed be God: he didn't turn a deaf ear, he stayed with me, loyal in his love.
