Psalm 9:17 Douay-Rheims

The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.

Radak

c. 1160–1235 Jewish

Lord, Thou hast heard the desire of the meek: – Thou hast heard is equivalent (here) to “Thou wilt hear,” and its interpretation (is) Thou hast heard their prayer according to their desire. Or its interpretation is: Thou didst hear their desire before they gave it expression, as it says (Is. 65:24): “And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer”; and so on. Thou wilt establish their heart: – Thou wilt remove from their heart worldly anxiety, for their heart is distracted by reason of their poverty and their wanderings, and Thou wilt help them to establish their heart upon Thee in devotion. And then Thou wilt make Thine ear attend – to their prayer. And the interpretation of אזנך תקשׁיב is: Thou shalt make Thine ears to be attentive.
