I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications.
Ver. 1. I love the Lord] Heb. I love, because the Lord hath heard, &c., Vex abrupta et ecliptica, an abrupt concise ecliptical expression, betokening an inexpressible, inconceivable passion, or rather pang of love, such as intercepteth his voice for a time, till recollecting himself, and recovering his speech, he becometh able to tell us, not only that he loveth, or is well satisfied (Sat habeo. Tremel.), but also why he loveth, and is all on a light flame, as it were, viz.
Because he hath heard my voice] Though but an articulate incondite voice: Lamentations 3:56, "Thou hast heard my voice; hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry."
And my supplications] My prayers for grace, when better formed and methodized.
