Psalms 55:2 - Exposition

Attend unto me, and hear me . A very special need is indicated by these four petitions to be heard ( Psalms 55:1 , Psalms 55:2 ). I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise; rather, I wander in my musing , and moan aloud. "I wander," i.e. "from one sad thought to another" (Kay); and, unable to constrain myself, I give vent to meanings. Orientals are given to open displays of their grief (Herod; 8.99; AE schylus, 'Persae,' passim ) .
