"Just as prayer itself adds nothing to God's knowledge, and yet plays a large part in his economy, so the impassioned pleas for his attention, that he will rouse himself and act, have a proper place within prayer although they add nothing to his will to help. This psalm [80] abounds in them: see the spate of imperatives in the first and last sections. God, it seems, prefers an excess of boldness in prayer to an excess of caution, as long as the boldness is something more than loquacity. We come to him as [children of the heavenly Father], not as applicants."
