I cried unto God with my voice, etc.] Which is to be understood of prayer, and that vocal, and which is importunate and fervent, being made in distress; (see <190304>Psalm 3:4), or “my voice was unto God” f1085, “and I cried”; it was directed to him, and expressed in a very loud and clamorous way: even unto God with my voice; or “my voice was unto God”; which is repeated to show that he prayed again and again, with great eagerness and earnestness, his case being a very afflicted one: and he gave ear unto me; his prayer was not without success; God is a God hearing and answering prayer, according to his promise, (<195015>Psalm 50:15).
