Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 9:19

19 O Lord hear, O Lord forgive, O Lord hearken and do: defer not for thine own sake, O my God : for thy city and thy people are called by thy Name.

Here 1 We have the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man prevailing: he never gave over till he got it. 2 The Lord allows, and loves importunity in Prayer. 3 He and the People of God were under a sore Trial, for the 70 years Captivity were expired. Therefore he saith, defer not now Lord its high time for thee to have Mercy upon Sion, yea the set time is come, Lord hear for thine own sake, though not for ours. What hast thou forgotten? O Lord remember.
