The Confidence of Being Heard
Commentators note that David speaks with certainty, saying God "hast heard" his vows (prayers). This reflects a deep, internal assurance that God listens. Scholars like Albert Barnes suggest that believers today can also experience this profound peace, a confident hope that God has heard our cries and will be merciful. This assurance is a key part of the believer's heritage.
