I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
The cry aloud that was heard from the holy hill was sung by David while fleeing Jerusalem at the rebellion of Absalom, when he cried aloud to the Lord and was heard from His holy hill. At that time he was a dethroned and crownless king, spent with grief and weariness, having tarried beside the Jordan for only a few hours' rest with his company of men, women, and little children before being roused for immediate flight requiring passage of the deep, swift-flowing stream in darkness and at night while the forces of his traitor son pressed hard behind him. It is a song in the night in the hour of darkest trial, breathing trust that calling aloud to the Lord brings answer from His holy hill. Even in grief, exhaustion, danger, and immediate danger his heart rested in God and trusted that God heard him. God is shown as hearing prayer and sustaining David through the night, giving him confidence despite those set against him.
