Psalms 25:18

See my suffering and my distress (pain, heavy burden),
and forgive me (lift up, carry) all my sins (mistakes).
[Here the pattern is broken; instead of the nineteenth Hebrew letter qof, the twentieth resh is used here. The sign resh depicts a head from the side and symbolizes the ability to see and observe. Here, it is the word "See" that begins with that letter.
Qof, which is missing and should have come here, depicts a head seen from behind. Why is the pattern broken? One clue may be to see which words beginning with qof the psalmist could have used. In the Lam.s, "I cry out" is used for qof, see Lam. 1:19. Could it be that the psalmist's own words have run out and he has realized that there is nothing he can do himself, so instead he appeals to God to see his suffering and forgive his sin? Another word beginning with qof used in alphabetical Ps. is "wait," see Ps. 37:34. Could it be that the need here is so urgent that there is no time to wait? By skipping the letter with the image of the "head from behind" and instead going directly to the "head from the front," the prayer reinforces that God should see his suffering, verse 18, and also what his enemies are doing, see verse 19!]
