Blessed [be] God, which hath not turned away my prayer,.... Has not been angry against it, shut it out, or covered himself with a cloud that it might not pass through, which sometimes saints have complained of, Psalms 80:4; but graciously heard and received it;
nor his mercy from me; for that endures for ever, and is from everlasting to everlasting on them that fear the Lord, Psalms 103:17; all which require thankfulness and praise, which is here given.
