The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Bow down thine ear to me; or, incline thine ear to me, as the same phrase is translated in Psalms 71:2. Deliver me speedily. Not doubting of deliverance, he makes his request for speedy deliverance (comp.

Psalms 38:22; Psalms 40:17; Psalms 70:1; Psalms 71:12, etc.). Be thou my strong Rock, for an House of defence to save me; rather, as in the Revised Version, Be thou to me a strong Rock, an House of defence, etc.

(comp. Psalms 18:2).
