Psalms 140:6

I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.

140:6. I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God. He was assured that Jehovah was his God, he expressed that assurance, and he expressed it before Jehovah himself. Often the less we say to our foes, and the more we say to our best Friend, the better it will fare with us. David rejoiced in the fact that he had already said that Jehovah was his God: he was content to have committed himself, he had no wish to draw back. The Lord was David’s own by deliberate choice, to which he again sets his seal with delight.

Hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. Since thou art mine, I pray thee, hear my cries. So long as the Lord doth but hear us we are content. The more we consider his greatness and our insignificance, his wisdom and our folly, the more shall we be filled with praise when the Lord attends unto our cry.
