The Hebrew root for "give ear" is "אזן" (azan), which means to listen or to pay attention. This reflects a deep yearning for divine attention and intervention. In the ancient Near Eastern context, calling upon a deity to "give ear" was a common practice, signifying the worshiper's belief in a personal and responsive God. The psalmist's use of this phrase underscores the intimate relationship between the believer and God, emphasizing that God is not distant but is actively engaged in the lives of His people. to my words O LORD consider my groaning Parallel Commentaries ...
