Gill's Notes on the Bible

I have called upon thee,.... In prayer. This had been the constant practice of the psalmist, and he still continued in it;

for thou wilt hear me, O God; God is a God hearing prayer; he is used to hear his people, and they have frequent experience of it, and they may be assured that whatsoever they ask according to his will, and in the name of Christ, he will hear; and such an assurance is a reason engaging the saints to a constant calling upon God, Psalms 116:2; and such confidence of being always heard Christ had, John 11:41;

incline thine ear unto me, [and hear] my speech; meaning his prayer, which he now directed to him in full assurance of being heard, and is as follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I have called upon thee for thou wilt hear me, O God - The meaning of this is, “I have called on thee heretofore, and will do it still, because I am certain that thou wilt hear me.” That is, he was encouraged to call upon God by the conviction that he would hear his prayer, and would grant his request. In other words, he came to God in faith; in the full belief of his readiness to answer prayer, and to bestow needed blessings. Compare John 11:42; Hebrews 11:6.

Incline thine ear unto me - See the notes at Psalms 17:1.

My speech - My prayer. The reference here, as in Psalms 17:1, is to prayer “uttered” before God; and not mere mental prayer.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 17:6. Incline thine ear unto me — David prayed from a conviction that God would hear: but he could not be satisfied unless he received an answer. In a believer's mind the petition and the answer should not be separated.
