John Trapp on Daniel 9:3

Ver. 3. And I ſet my face unto the Lord God] i. e. Toward the habitation of his holineſſe at Jeruſalem, but eſpecially in heaven: I looked up unto the hills, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. from whence I looked for help. This, Daniel did dayly, chap. 6.10. but now with more then ordinary intention and devotion, he preſenteth an inwrought prayer (as St. James calleth it, chap. 5.16.) edged with faſting, and downright humiliation. He doubteth not thereby to ſet God to work, as David did, Pſal. 119.126. He knew that a long look toward God ſpeedeth, Pſal. 34.4, 5. Jon. 2.4, 7. how much more an extraordinary prayer?
