Salmos 17:6

6 Yo te he invocado, por cuanto tú me oyes, oh Dios: Inclina a mí tu oído, escucha mi palabra.

Salmos 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.

Salmos 17:6 In-Context

4 Para las obras humanas, por la palabra de tus labios yo observé los caminos del violento.

5 Sustenta mis pasos en tus caminos, para que mis pies no resbalen.

6 Yo te he invocado, por cuanto tú me oyes, oh Dios: Inclina a mí tu oído, escucha mi palabra.

7 Haz maravillosas tus misericordias, salvador de los que en ti confían, de los que se levantan contra tu diestra.

8 Guárdame como lo negro de la niña del ojo, escóndeme con la sombra de tus alas.
