You have heard their taunts, O LORD, all their plots against me—the verse continues the catalogue of what God has heard and witnessed: the mocking taunts and the calculated schemes. The repetition of "all their plots" from the previous verse suggests that God has comprehensive knowledge of the enemies' intentions. Theologically, the verse suggests that God is aware not only of the results of enemies' action but of the process and intention. The petition to God who has "heard" echoes the appeal to God's attention; God hears and therefore can and should respond. The verse presents God as the ultimate witness to all the injustice.
