Jeremiah17:14
14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise .
Most Interpreters here understand the Prophet speaking in these words to God for himself, he represents himself to God as a person wounded or sick, either with his sense of Gods dishonour by the sins of the people, or with their reproaches, or threatnings, and beggeth of God to heal him, he being he, in whose hand or power it was to heal him, and who could certainly do it. The argument is in those words for thou art my praise, he whom alone I have reason to praise for mercies already received, to whom alone I owe all my good things.
