Does God listen to his cry when distress overtakes him?

so that they caused the cry of the poor to come before him, so that he hears the cry of the needy.

Surely it is an empty cry – God does not hear it; the Almighty does not take notice of it.

It scorns the tumult in the town; it does not hear the shouts of a driver.

After that a voice roars; he thunders with an exalted voice, and he does not hold back his lightning bolts when his voice is heard.
