What does Psalm 6:8 mean?

David celebrates a renewed confidence in God by warning his enemies to flee. He calls them "workers of evil." His foes were determined in mind and heart to perform wicked deeds. Their persecution of David was one such act of evil. The Lord had answered his prayer for deliverance.

God sympathizes and responds to the weeping of His people (Psalm 56:8). Grief may not reach the Lord in the form of words, but He hears and understands all the same (Romans 8:26). Hebrews 4:15 assures us that Jesus is our sympathetic high priest "who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin." In the garden of Gethsemane Jesus experienced deep sorrow. As He prayed, He was in agony, "and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground" (Luke 22:44). He understands how we feel when we sorrow deeply!
