Psalms 65:2,3 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

O thou that hearest prayer That usest and delightest to hear and answer the prayers of thy people in Zion; which he justly mentions as one of the chiefest of God's favours vouchsafed to his church; unto thee shall all flesh come Men of all sorts and nations, who were allured by this and other singular benefits, to unite themselves to the Jewish Church, according to Solomon's prediction, 1 Kings 8:41-43. Or, rather, this may be considered as a tacit prediction of the conversion of the Gentiles, namely, that on account of God's mercy in hearing the prayers of his people, all mankind, out of every nation, should come and make their supplications before him in his church, when called by his gospel. And the chief subject of the prayers made by all flesh to God being the forgiveness of sin, in order to this it is here confessed, Iniquities prevail against me My iniquities are so many and so great, that on account of them thou mightest justly reject my prayers, and destroy my person; they are a burden too heavy for me; but thou shalt purge them away This is another glorious privilege granted to thy people, that, in answer to their prayers, thou dost graciously pardon and take away their sins.
