David's song to Yahweh continues. He uses parallelism to emphasize what he is saying. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])
# In my distress
"In my great trouble"
# he heard my voice from his temple
David is referring to the heavenly temple where Yahweh dwells. The earthly temple has not yet been built.

Here the metonym "his ears" refers to Yahweh and his hearing of David's call for help. Alternate translation: "he heard my prayer for help" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
# his ears
David speaks of Yahweh as if he had ears. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-personification]])
