2. Attend unto me, and hear me. This is
the third time he prays the same prayer. He is in deep and bitter earnest. He
begs for his God to be a listener and an answerer. I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise. He gives a loose to his sorrows, permits his mind to
rehearse her griefs, and to pour them out whether the language be coherent or
not. What a comfort that we may be thus familiar with our God! Our rambling
thoughts when we are distracted with grief we may bring before him, and in
utterances rather to be called a noise than language. He will attend so
carefully that he will understand us, and he will often fulfill desires which
we ourselves could not have expressed in intelligible words. Our Lord himself
used strong crying and tears, and was heard in that he feared.
