The Treasury of David

2. The voice of my cry. Weeping (compare Psalm 6:8) has a voice—a melting, plaintive tone, an ear-piercing
shrillness, which reaches the very heart of God: and crying has a voice—a
soul-moving eloquence; coming from our heart it reaches God’s
heart. Sometimes we cannot put our prayers into words: they are nothing but a cry:
but the Lord can comprehend the meaning. To a loving father his children’s
cries are music, and have a magic influence his heart cannot resist. MyKing, and my God: These little pronouns, “my King, and my God,” are the
pith and marrow of the plea. Here is a grand argument why God should answer
prayer—because he is our King and our God. We are not aliens to
him: he is the King of our country. He is our God by covenant, by promise, by
oath, by blood. For unto thee will I pray. Here David expresses his
declaration that he will seek God, and God alone. God is to be the only object
of worship, the only resource of our soul in times of need. Will I.
David makes a resolution that as long as he lived he would pray, even though
the answer might not come.
