Commentary on Psalms 69:33

Theological / Devotional

The Lord heareth. The psalmist’s assurance of deliverance is based on the principle stated in this verse: God cares for the afflicted (see on v. 29), “the poor in spirit” (see Matt. 5:3).

Prisoners. Those who suffer, are made captive, for His sake.
