Hi Karl,
How about if we exercise just a bit of imagination in reading the poetry
and see the human supplicants that come as "required attachments" to the
groan and the petition?
I believe the technical name for the figures in verses you quote is
metonymy. The two vv. in Psa are very much about gaining an audience
with YHWH.
Shalom,
Bryan
