The psalmist asks God not to forget the 'tumult' of His enemies. Commentators explain this isn't just noise, but the arrogant, blasphemous shouts of those attacking God's people and His honor. The prayer is a call for just retribution, trusting that the cries of wickedness 'ascend' to God and will be met with His righteous judgment.
