Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 6:8

"Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping." — Psalms 6:8 (ASV)

Depart from me. —After the night of sorrow comes the morning of revived faith and confidence, if not of joy. The poet can turn to address his maligners with the assurance that God has heard his prayer, which in his agony he poured out, as he feared at the time, into deaf and unsympathetic ears.
