In Psalm 86, David uses the phrase, "Incline your ear [to me], oh Lord."
Ever see a scared kid in a big group of people? They might need to tell their dad something but they won't come right out and say it. Instead, they grab his hand and beckon for him to bend down to their level so they can whisper their fears and insecurities into his understanding ear.
That's the picture here.
Great illustration - I never thought of it that way before - thanks!
