#752: Tachanun (Part 22)

We saw several interpretations.

Shema is past tense.

David HaMelech is in the middle of describing how he cries all night his sheets and pillows have to be his linen are changed seven times a night because they're soaked with his tears from the pain the suffering either of his illness or uh or put upon him by his enemies so what does he mean in past tense We saw the redak, two interpretations, three interpretations.

Either he's confident Hashem will answer him, or when a person cries out sincerely and genuinely, then Hashem has already answered them just by the relationship, which is yielded as a result of crying out to Hashem.

The shlach writes that from here we see the value of crying during davening.

We see the fact that David HaMelech is so confident he will be answered.

the efficacy, the power of when a person cries out authentically that Hashem will answer so much so that even though it hasn't happened, David communicates and articulates it as if it did.
