The Value of Repeated Prayer
Commentators like Charles Spurgeon and John Gill note that the psalmist repeats his prayer from earlier in the psalm. This is not seen as a lack of faith, but as a sign of earnestness and urgency. Spurgeon points out that this follows the example of Jesus, who prayed three times in Gethsemane using the same words, validating the practice of persistent, repeated prayer for believers.
