David's Cry and God's Listening
David begins his prayer in Psalm 61 with a profound plea for God to listen to him, expressing his vulnerability by calling out from the ends of the earth during a moment of deep anguish. This raises the question of why David feels the need to ask for God's attention, considering God's omnipresence and omniscience.
