From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear ... -SeePsalms 4:1, note;Psalms 5:1, note. In thy faithfulness answer me -That is, Show thy faithfulness to thy promises. God had made gracious promises to David (comparePsalms 89:19-37), and he now pleads that he would remember those promises, and accomplish in his behalf what he had said he would. God has also made gracious promises to his people, and they may always plead those promises as a reason why they should be heard, and why their prayers should be answered. And in thy righteousness -ComparePsalms 31:1. In thy disposition to do right; to vindicate a righteous cause; to interpose when wrong is done.
