An Urgent, Repeated Plea

Commentators note this verse is the climax of a repeated refrain (vv. 3, 7, 19). This repetition isn't just for style; it shows the deep earnestness and desperation of the people. Their only hope for restoration and salvation was God's direct intervention, a lesson for believers to persistently and urgently bring their needs to God's throne of mercy.
