Psalms 6:8. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity
He wants his God to come to him, so he bids God’s enemies clear out. If we keep company with the wicked, we cannot invite God to our house, and expect him to come. "Depart from me," says David, "all ye workers of iniquity." "You who are singing what you call a jolly song, be off with you. You who are merry with your jokes against religion, begone far from me."
Psalms 6:8. For the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
"And if he has heard my tears, I do not want you to be here. I cannot associate with God’s enemies now that he has heard the voice of my weeping." Is not that a beautiful expression, "The voice of my weeping"? Why, there was no sound, was there? Yet there are songs without words, and there are voices without sounds.
