6. Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer. Even the glory which his spirit had beheld did not withdraw him from
his prayer, but rather urged him to be more fervent in it; hence he implores
the Lord to hear his requests. Note the expression the voice of my supplications, as if they were not all voice but were partly inarticulate
noise, yet amid much that was superfluous there really was an inner meaning
which was the heart’s intention. This he would have the Lord sift out from the
chaff, and hear amid the mingled din. May our soul’s intent always give our
prayers a live core of meaning.
