What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
I will cry unto Thee, but Thou wilt not hear me; I stand, and Thou regardest me not. Since Holy Church in the time of her persecution 'stands' by faith, and 'cries' by longings. But she is grieved that she is 'not regarded' as it were, when she sees her wishes under tribulations delayed. …
Thomas Aquinas
Those who are despised by men often find help from God, but he was deserted by God in temporal adversity, and so he says, "I will call to you," seeking continually to be freed from this adversity, "and you will not hear me," very quickly. "I stood," for I persevered in prayer, "and you do not notice me," by freeing me from adversity.
