Psalms 77:1

I cried unto God with my voice ,.... Which is to be understood of prayer, and that vocal, and which is importunate and fervent, being made in distress; see Psalm 3:4 , or "my voice was unto God" F8 קולי אל אלהים "vox mea ad Deum", Pagninus, Montanus, Musculus, "fertur", Junius & Tremellius; "erat", Cocceius. , "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, Psalm 50:15 .
