Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 17:14

"Heal me, O Jehovah, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise." — Jeremiah 17:14 (ASV)

Heal me. —The prophet, consciously or unconsciously, contrasts himself with the deserters from Jehovah. He needs “healing” and “salvation,” but he knows where to seek for them, and is sure that his Lord will not leave the work incomplete. The prayer of the prophet is like that of the Psalmist (Psalms 6:2; Psalms 30:2). In thou art my praise we have an echo of Deuteronomy 10:21; Psalms 71:6.
