Commentary on Psalms 6:8
Sudden shift from lament to confidence - the Lord has heard! This pattern (lament to assurance) is common in psalms and reflects prayer's transformative power. 'Workers of iniquity' identifies enemies by their character and actions. David's command 'Depart from me' shows renewed authority and confidence. The certainty that God 'hath heard' (perfect tense in Hebrew) indicates assurance of answered prayer, not just hopeful wishing. This foreshadows Jesus's words to evildoers in Matthew 7:23.
