A Repeated Prayer
Commentators like Albert Barnes, Charles Ellicott, and John Gill all note that this verse is nearly identical to Psalm 40:14. This repetition of a prayer for deliverance from enemies emphasizes the psalmist's deep and persistent distress. The minor textual differences do not alter the core plea for God's intervention against those seeking the psalmist's harm.
