2. Hear my prayer, O God. This has ever been the
defense of saints. As long as God has an open ear we cannot be shut up in
trouble. All other weapons may be useless, but all-prayer is evermore
available. No enemy can stop this gun. Give ear to the words of my mouth.
Vocal prayer helps the supplicant, and we keep our minds more fully awake when
we can use our tongues as well as our hearts. But it is all one whether we
babble nonsense or plead arguments if our God grant us not a hearing. When his
case had become dangerous, David could not afford to pray out of mere custom;
he must succeed in his pleadings, or become the prey of his adversary.
