Psalm 6:8 Depart from me, all you workers of evil, for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.

Do we hear the laments of others? There are those who rarely listen to them. We may even need to count ourselves among those who do not hear. 

The psalmist could hear all the "workers of evil" who heaped upon him harsh words and mortifying turmoil. Still, however, he cries out to God. He trusts that, even if these do not hear, God will hear him in the midst of his struggle and pain.

Christ came into this world for us and for our salvation. All who are overcome by the turmoil of evil feel lost to the world and unheard by anyone. But Christ picks up His cross and brings our cry to the ears of God, even our scent of death to the very nostrils of God. The Lord hears the sound of our weeping! And our cries will give way to songs of hope.
