Why does it say "Keli Keli Lamah Azavtani"?
Megilah 15b: When Esther went to the king, when she reached the place of the idols, Ru'ach ha'Kodesh departed from her. She asked why she was abandoned. Do You judge Shogeg like Mezid, and Ones like Ratzon? (I am coerced to come here for Yisrael!)
Rashi: David prays for Yisrael, who will go to exile.
Rashi (Shemos 34:6, based on Mechilta Beshalach 3}: This teaches that Kel is Midas ha'Rachmamim. One does not say 'why did You abandon me' to Midas ha'Din!
Radak (1): Keneses Yisrael says so in the darkness of Galus, as if they were forgotten and abandoned. The pronoun at the end of Azavtani is singular, for Am Yisrael were like one person with one heart 1 . Keli is doubled, like the way of people who call and scream, like "Aneni Hashem Aneni" (Melachim I, 18:37), "Avraham Avraham" (Bereishis 22:11), "Moshe Moshe" (Shemos 3:4). Keli - You used to be my strength!
Malbim: Only You are my Kel, and no one else, from always. Why did You abandon me now?!
Radak often says that the singular refers to the Kenesiyah. If so, what is his source to expound this? (PF)
Why does it say "Rachok mi'Yeshu'asi Divrei Sha'agasi"?
Rashi: You are far from my salvation and from my scream.
Radak: Why are You far from my salvation when You hear the words of my scream?
Malbim: Not only did You distance from me, that You are not near to save me at the time of need. You distanced further to the point that You cannot hear the words of my scream, and You do not know 1 my affliction at all! This is one complaint for abandonment and Hester Panim.
Surely Hashem hears and knows everything! Rather, He acts as if He does not hear or know. (PF) Rashi (Shemos 2:25) - "va'Yeda Elokim" - He put His heart on them, and did not hide His eyes from them.
