Praying God's Promises Back to Him
Commentators like Spurgeon and Henry emphasize that the power of David's prayer lies in its foundation: "for you, O Lord GOD, have spoken it." David isn't just asking for a blessing; he is confidently reminding God of His own promise. This serves as a model for believers today: when we pray, we can anchor our requests in the specific promises found in Scripture, trusting that God will be faithful to His word.
