God in the abundance of Thy (covenant) mercy
Hear me with the faithfulness of Thy help.
For the favourable or gracious time comp Isaiah 49:8.
Whatever the sin of Psalms 69:5, &c., it had not cut the offender off from the sense of the blessings of the covenant, or he had been by pardon restored to it.
