Psalms 6:9

"Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping."

Key Reflection

This verse reflects the psalmist's assurance that despite his enemies' attempts to harm him, God has heard and answered his prayers. It signifies both a call for separation from adversaries and confidence in divine protection and intervention.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The Lord hath heard my supplication -Repeating the sentiment in the previous verse, to express his assurance and his joy. Nothing is more natural in such circumstances than to dwell on the joyous thought, and to repeat it to ourselves, that it may make its full impression. The Lord will receive my prayer -As he has done it, so he will still do it. This allays all fears of the future, and makes the mind calm. The state of mind here is this: “The Lord has heard my prayer; I am assured that he will do it hereafter; I have, therefore, nothing to fear.”
