I cried aloud to God The phrase "I cried aloud to God" begins with an expression of deep, earnest prayer. The Hebrew word for "cried" here is "צָעַק" (tsa'aq), which conveys a sense of shouting or calling out with intensity. This is not a silent or passive prayer but a vocal and fervent plea. Historically, this reflects the ancient practice of vocal prayer, where individuals would often cry out to God in times of distress, seeking His immediate attention and intervention. The act of crying aloud signifies a personal and communal tradition of seeking divine help, emphasizing the believer's reliance on God's power and presence. aloud to God and He heard me "My voice to God--and let me cry; My voice to God--and He hears me." The Authorised Version has followed the LXX. and Vulg. in neglecting the striking changes in mood running through this psalm. Soliloquy and narrative alternate as the poet's mood impels him--now to give vent to his feelings in sobs and cries, now to analyse and describe them. Verse 1. - I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice. The repetition marks the intensity of the appeal, "with my voice" - that the appellant is not content with mere silent prayer. And he gave ear unto me; rather, "that he may hearken unto me" (Cheyne), or "and do thou hearken unto me" (Hengstenberg, Kay).Parallel Commentaries ...
