EXPOSITION.
"_The voice of my cry_." In another Psalm we find the
expression, "The voice of my weeping." Weeping has a voice--a
melting, plaintive tone, an ear-piercing shrillness, which
reaches the very heart of God: and _crying_ hath a voice--a
soul-moving eloquence; coming from _our_ heart it reaches _God's_
heart. Ah! my brothers and sisters, sometimes we cannot put our
prayers into words: they are nothing but a _cry_: but the Lord
can comprehend the meaning, for he hears a voice in our cry. To a
loving father his children's cries are music, and they have a
magic influence which his heart cannot resist. "_My King and my
God_." Observe carefully these little pronouns, "_my_ King, and
_my_ God." They are the pith and marrow of the plea. Here is a
grand argument why God should answer prayer--because he is _our_
King and _our_ God. We are not aliens to him: he is the King of
our country. Kings are expected to hear the appeals of their own
people. We are not strangers to him; we are his worshippers, and
he is our God: ours by covenant, by promise, by oath, by blood.
"_For unto thee will I pray_." Here David expresses his
declaration that he will seek to God, and to God alone. God is to
be the only object of worship: the only resource of our soul in
times of need. Leave broken cisterns to the godless, and let the
godly drink from the Divine fountain alone. "Unto thee _will I
pray_." He makes a resolution, that as long as he lived he would
pray. He would never cease to supplicate, even though the answer
should not come.
