Verse 13. My prayer is unto thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time] This seems to refer to the end of the captivity, which Jeremiah had said should last seventy years, Jer 25:11, 12: "The whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon," &c. The conclusion of this period was the accepted time of which the psalmist speaks.
