The Fathers on this verse
St Augustine Expositions on the Book of Psalms, Psalm LXXXVI
9. “Fix my prayer in Thy ears, O Lord” ( ver. 6 ). Great earnestness of him who prays! That is, let not my prayer go out of Thine ears, fix it then in Thine ears. How did he travail that he might fix his prayer in the ears of God? Let God answer and say to us; Wouldest thou that I fix thy prayer in My ears? Fix My law in thy heart; “and attend to the voice of my prayer.”
