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.
