The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 66:19

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

But verily God hath heard me. The psalmist's prayer had been answered so unmistakably, so directly, that he could not doubt of the result, which had been brought about, being the consequence of his vows and supplications (, ).

He hath attended to the voice of my prayer. Strange as it might seem to be that God had attended to the voice of a man (; ; ; ), yet so it was; the psalmist did not and could not doubt it.
