Gill's Notes on the Bible
Hear my prayer, O God,.... The psalmist first puts up his petitions, and then desires to be heard; his distress, and the fervency of his spirit, not suffering him to observe order;
give ear to the words of my mouth; for the prayer which was conceived in his mind, and inwrought there by the Spirit of God, was expressed vocally.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Hear my prayer, O God - My earnest cry for deliverance from the designs of those who would betray me.
Give ear to the words of my mouth - Incline thine ear to me, as one does who wishes to hear. See the notes at Psalms 17:6.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 54:2. Hear my prayer — In his straits he had recourse to God; for from him alone, for the reasons alleged above, his deliverance must proceed.
