Psalms 17:6
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
Psalms 17:6
David declares he has called to God and trusts that God will hear. The plea invites God’s attentive listening and an answer to speech offered in faith. The verse captures a personal, intimate posture in prayer—recognizing God’s readiness to listen.
Emphasizes God as a personal, responsive deity who hears prayers of the righteous. It aligns with biblical teaching on prayer, God’s attentiveness, and the assurance of divine response.
Practical takeaway: pray with confidence that God hears; articulate needs honestly and persistently. Examples include praying for protection, provision, or guidance, and cultivating a habit of daily conversation with God rather than sporadic petitions.
