Psalm 54:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 54:2

Hear my prayer, O God
The psalmist first puts up his petitions, and then desires to be heard; his distress, and the fervency of his spirit, not suffering him to observe order;

give ear to the words of my mouth;
for the prayer which was conceived in his mind, and inwrought there by the Spirit of God, was expressed vocally.

Psalm 54:2 In-Context

1 in finem in carminibus intellectus David

2 exaudi Deus orationem meam et ne despexeris deprecationem meam

3 intende mihi et exaudi me contristatus sum in exercitatione mea et conturbatus sum

4 a voce inimici et a tribulatione peccatoris quoniam declinaverunt in me iniquitatem et in ira molesti erant mihi

5 cor meum conturbatum est in me et formido mortis cecidit super me
