I call upon you, O Lord; come quickly to me; give ear to my voice when I call to you. The opening petition for swift divine response emphasizes urgency and the vital necessity of God's intervention. Come quickly suggests desperation; the psalmist appeals to God's willingness to respond with urgency proportionate to the crisis. Give ear to my voice entreats God to attend carefully to the petition being offered. This verse demonstrates that prayer itself becomes an expression of faith in God's accessibility and responsiveness.
