“Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.”
The psalmist declares that all his longing is known to God and his groaning is not hidden from God. The affirmation that God knows the psalmist's desires and hears his groaning establishes that nothing escapes God's awareness. This verse shifts from the description of suffering to the recognition that God is fully aware of the psalmist's condition. The acknowledgment of God's knowledge provides a bridge toward petition.
