This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
They, to wit, thy people, as appears both from the matter of this verse, and from the following verses.
Visited thee; come into thy presence, with their prayers and supplications, as the next clause explains it.
They poured out; which notes the plenty or rather the earnestness of their prayers, as Psa_42:4 142:2.
A prayer, Heb. a muttering or lowly speech, such as charmers use, and such as Hezekiah used when he was in great distress, Isa_38:14, Like a crane or swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove; and such as is usual in case of great humiliation and dejection of mind. When thy chastening was upon them; when thou wast punishing them for their sins.
