1. I cried unto God with my voice. This
psalm has much sadness in it, but we may be sure it will end well, for it
begins with prayer, and prayer never has an ill issue. Asaph did not run to man
but to the Lord, with the natural, unaffected, unfeigned expression of pain. He
used his voice also, for though vocal utterance is not necessary to the life of
prayer, it often seems forced upon us by the energy of our desires. Even unto God with my voice. He needed an answer, he expected one, he was eager
to have it soon, therefore he cried again and again, and with his voice, for
the sound helped his earnestness. And he gave ear unto me. Importunity
prevailed. The gate opened to the steady knock. It will be so with us in our
hour of trial; the God of grace will hear us in due season.
