EXPLANATION

Verse 2. Cry. Hebrew “meditation.” Menochius.—The cry of the heart, (Saint John Chrysostom) and “the groans,” which the spirit forms within us. Romans 8:26. God cannot reject such prayers. If he seems inattentive, it is because we ask amiss. Jam. 4:3. Calmet.—He attends to the prayers of the Church, and of every faithful soul, ( Worthington.) and even exhorts sinners to come to him, that they may emerge from the abyss. Bible.
