Psalms 6:8

“Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, etc.] The psalmist being fully assured that God had heard his prayer, that he should recover from his disorder, or be delivered out of his calamities, whether corporeal or spiritual, has on a sudden a spring of joy, faith, and comfort; as sometimes there is a quick transition from comfortable to uncomfortable frames; (see <193007>Psalm 30:7); so on the contrary, there is as quick a passage from uncomfortable to comfortable ones; (see <250318>Lamentations 3:18,24); who may be called “workers of iniquity” (see Gill on “<190505>Psalm 5:5”); and these were either his open enemies, as Saul and his men, or Absalom and the conspirators with him, whom he…”

“Assured of God's hearing, he suddenly defies his enemies by an address indicating that he no longer fears them.”

“Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity - Referring, by the “workers of iniquity,” to his enemies, as if they now surrounded him, and calling on them “now” to leave him, since God had heard his prayer, and they could not be successful in their purposes. This is an indirect but most emphatic way of saying that God had heard his prayer; and the sentiment in this verse is strongly in contrast with the desponding state of feeling - the deep and dreadful sorrow - indicated in the previous verses. Light broke in suddenly upon him; his prayer had come up before God, and, in some way, he was assured that it would be answered. Already he sees his enemies scattered, and his own cause triumphant;…”

“Hath heard - By the workings of God's grace upon his heart, he knew his prayer was accepted. His tears had a voice, in the ears of the God of mercy. Silent tears are no speechless ones. Our tears are cries to God. Psalms 6:10”

“6:8-10 In a closing note of triumph, the psalmist reasserts his confidence in the Lord.”

“Depart: Psa 119:115, Psa 139:19; Mat 7:23, Mat 25:41; Luk 13:27 for: Psa 3:4, Psa 56:8, Psa 116:8, Psa 145:18; Isa 30:19, Isa 38:3, Isa 38:5; Heb 5:7 Psalms 6:9”

“(Heb.: 6:9-11) Even before his plaintive prayer is ended the divine light and comfort come quickly into his heart, as Frisch says in his "Neuklingende Harfe Davids." His enemies mock him as one forsaken of God, but even in the face of his enemies he becomes conscious that this is not his condition. Thrice in Psa 6:9, Psa 6:10 his confidence that God will answer him flashes forth: He hears his loud sobbing, the voice of his weeping that rises towards heaven, He hears his supplication, and He graciously accepts his prayer. The twofold שׁמע expresses the fact and יקח its consequence. That which he seems to have to suffer, shall in reality be the lot of his enemies, viz., the end of those who…”
