I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, [and hear] my speech.

Psalms 17:6 — KJV

Theological / Devotional

Thou wilt hear. In complete faith, David continues his prayer. He knows that God hears.

Speech. Oral, not mental, prayer. The earnestness of this prayer is proof that the former part of the psalm is not a mere self-righteous boast.
