LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
The One who listens to the longing of the lowly is enthroned as sovereign without end. He has already caught their desire, He steadies and makes ready their inner life, and He bends His own attention to catch their cry. His listening issues in vindication for children left without a father and for all who are crushed, with the express result that mere mortal oppressors from the earth will be able to terrorize them no longer. That final silencing of oppression coincides with the complete removal of the godless nations from His territory.
