Psalms 69:13 - Exposition

But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time (comp. Psalms 32:6 ; Isaiah 49:8 ). Professor Cheyne asks, "How has it been revealed to the psalmist that this is an acceptable time?" We can only answer—Perhaps it has not been revealed; he may express a hope rather than a full assurance. Or it may have been revealed to him in the way that other things were. O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me; or, "in the greatness of thy mercy;" i.e. as thy mercy is so great. In the truth of thy salvation. "In the exercise of that fidelity which secures the salvation of all that trust it" (Professor Alexander).
