What Does Psalms 66:19 Mean?
But verily—an emphatic affirmation that breaks the conditional. Despite the vulnerability of verse 18, the speaker can testify that God has genuinely heard. Not heard in the sense of simply listening, but heard as in responding and attending—God actively bent His ear toward the prayer.
He hath attended to the voice of my prayer means God gave full attention to the specific plea. Prayer is a voice—audible, personal, rising from a particular soul in distress. God listened to this voice and took it seriously.
