Psalms 66:19
But God has surely heard; He has attended to the sound of my prayer.
BSB
ASV
But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
KJV
But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
But verily God hath heard me. Sure sign this that the petitioner was no secret lover of sin. The answer to his prayer was a fresh assurance that his heart was sincere before the Lord. See how sure the psalmist is that he has been heard; it is with him no hope, surmise, or fancy, but he seals it with a verily. Facts are blessed things when they reveal both God's heart as loving, and our own heart as sincere. He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
With these he unites his public thanks, inviting those who fear God (Ps 60:4; 61:5, His true worshippers) to hear. He vindicates his sincerity, inasmuch as God would not hear hypocrites, but had heard him.
