Commentary for Avodah Zarah 14:16

ור"א נמי הכתיב אשפוך לפניו שיחי הכי קאמר אשפוך לפניו שיחי בזמן שצרתי לפניו אגיד ור' יהושע נמי הכתיב תפלה לעני כי יעטוף הכי קאמר אימתי תפלה לעני בזמן שלפני ה' ישפוך שיחו

Now, as to R. Eliezer, is it not written, “I pour out my meditation” etc.! This is what it means, “I pour out my meditation before Him after I have already declared my [own] affliction.” And as to R. Joshua, is it not written, “A prayer for the afflicted when he is faint” etc.! This is what it means: “When should there be prayer for the afflicted? After he had poured forth his meditation before the Lord.”
