“Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.”
The final blessing pronounced that God is blessed, who did not turn away the psalmist's prayer or steadfast love, articulates the ultimate thanksgiving: God's faithfulness and responsiveness to prayer. The emphasis on God not turning away establishes the reliability of God's covenant commitment. This verse closes the psalm with the celebration of God's faithfulness as the ground of all worship and gratitude.
