A Prayer of Urgent Need
Commentators agree that the psalmist's repeated cries and plea for God to "make haste" reveal a situation of extreme distress. Scholars like Gill and Spurgeon note this isn't a calm request but a fervent, desperate cry for immediate help. This teaches believers that in moments of crisis, when human help is useless, it is right to cry out to God with passionate urgency.
