Psalm 6:9

EXPLANATORY NOTES AND QUAINT SAYINGS

Verse 9. The Lord hath heard my supplication, etc. The psalmist three times expresses his confidence of his prayers being heard and received, which may be either in reference to his having prayed so many times for help, as the apostle Paul did ( 2 Corinthians 12:8 ); and as Christ his antitype did ( Matthew 26:39 Matthew 26:42 Matthew 26:44 ); or to express the certainty of it, the strength of his faith in it, and the exuberance of his joy on account of it. John Gill, D.D., 1697-1771.
