Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Psalms 66:19
[But] verily God hath heard [me]; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
But verily God hath heard me … – That is, He has given me evidence that he has heard my prayer; and, in doing this, he has thus given me the assurance also that I do not regard iniquity in my heart. The evidence that he has heard me is at the same time proof to my mind that I do not love sin. As it is a settled and universal principle that God does not hear prayer when there is in the heart a cherished love and purpose of iniquity, so it follows that, if there is evidence that he has heard our prayers, it is proof that he has seen that our hearts are sincere, and that we truly desire to forsake all forms of sin.

16-20. With these he unites hispublic thanks, inviting those who fear God (Psa 60:4;Psa 61:5, His true worshippers)to hear. He vindicates his sincerity, inasmuch as God would not hearhypocrites, but had heard him.

[But] verily God hath heard [me],…. So that it was a plain case that he had not regarded iniquity in his heart; had not lived a vicious course of life, nor was an hypocrite; otherwise God would not have heard his prayer; whereas he had, and which is confirmed in the following clause;
he hath attended to the voice of my prayer; which is an instance of the grace and condescension of God, and showed in what high favour the psalmist was with the Lord, and what regard he had unto him; and therefore could not be the man his enemies represented him to be.

Psa 66:19-20. But verily God hath heard me And thereby hath borne his testimony to my integrity for my own comfort, and the vindication of my character against all my false accusers. Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer Or, rejected, or removed it from his sight and audience; but hath graciously received and granted it, which I ascribe to his infinite goodness, and not to the merit of my own righteousness; nor his mercy from me To which, and not to any worthiness of my own, I owe my acceptance with him, and the answer of my prayers.
