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

In conclusion, the psalmist bursts out into praise. Confident of receiving the deliverance for which he has prayed, he anticipates it by at once offering thanksgiving (Psalms 69:30). He then calls on others to rejoice with him, first on the poor and humble (Psalms 69:32, Psalms 69:33), then on heaven and earth and their inhabitants generally (Psalms 69:34).

Finally, he delivers a confident prophecy of the continued prosperity of Judah and Jerusalem (Psalms 69:35, Psalms 69:36).
