What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Augustine of Hippo

And so it follows: "Lord, why have You cast off my prayer?" [Psalm 88:14], which may be compared with another Psalm: "My God, My God, look upon me; why have You forsaken me?"

Jerome
"Why, O Lord, dost thou repel my prayer," that this cup should not pass from me?
