Psalms28:1

(last clause). How low a soul may sink when God hides his face.

Verses 1-2. Prayer. 1. Its nature —a "cry": (a) The utterance of life, (b) The expression of pain, (c) The pleading of need, (d) The voice of deep earnestness.

2. Its object —"O Lord, my rock." God as our Foundation, Refuge, and immutable Friend.

3. Its aim —"Hear, ""Be not silent." We expect an answer, a clear and manifest answer, a speedy answer, a suitable answer, an effectual answer.

4. Its medium —"Towards thy holy oracle." Our Lord Jesus, the true mercy seat, etc.
