King David described God as You who hear prayer. This name of God is similar to the description that Jesus (Yeshua‘) used in His teaching on prayer in the Sermon on the Mount: the Father who sees in secret.
You who hear prayer in the Hebrew text of Psalm 65:2.
You who hear prayer in Hebrew:
Shome‘a tefillah
Strong’s Concordance numbers: 8085, 8605
Bible reference: Ps. 65:2
O You who hear prayer,
To You all men come. (Ps. 65:2)
Two similar names for God in the Old Testament are God who sees and Jehovah Jireh (Yahweh yir’eh, the LORD who provides). God is a God who sees our needs and already has a solution on hand to take care of them.
