Ver. 25. Hast told thy servant.] Heb., Hast revealed or uncovered the ear of thy servant, i.e., thou hast in a most familiar manner imparted it: thou hast also accurately declared it unto me, bidding me, as it were, to put up my hat from mine ear, lest it should hinder me from hearing thy words unto me.
