Then they cried out
This phrase captures a moment of desperation and urgency. The Hebrew root for "cried out" is "זָעַק" (za'aq), which conveys a deep, earnest plea for help. In the context of ancient Israel, crying out to God was a common response in times of distress, reflecting a profound dependence on divine intervention. This act of crying out is not just a vocal expression but a heartfelt prayer, acknowledging human limitations and the need for God's power.

to the LORD
The term "LORD" here is translated from the Hebrew "יהוה" (YHWH), the sacred and personal name of God revealed to Moses. This name signifies God's eternal presence and covenant faithfulness. In the historical context of Israel, calling upon the LORD was an invocation of the God who delivered them from Egypt and sustained them through the wilderness. It is a reminder of God's unchanging nature and His readiness to respond to His people's cries.

in their trouble
The word "trouble" comes from the Hebrew "צָרָה" (tsarah), meaning distress or adversity. This term is often used in the Psalms to describe situations of extreme difficulty, whether due to external threats or internal turmoil. The historical context of Israel's frequent encounters with enemies and natural disasters underscores the reality of such troubles. This phrase highlights the human condition of vulnerability and the inevitability of facing challenges in life.

and He brought them
The action of "brought" is derived from the Hebrew "יָצָא" (yatsa), meaning to lead out or deliver. This verb is significant in the biblical narrative, often associated with God's deliverance of Israel from bondage. It emphasizes God's active role in rescuing His people, not merely as a passive observer but as a powerful redeemer who intervenes in history to guide His people to safety.

out of their distress
The word "distress" is again linked to "צָרָה" (tsarah), reinforcing the theme of deliverance from dire circumstances. In the scriptural context, this deliverance is not just physical but also spiritual, as God provides peace and restoration. The historical backdrop of Israel's repeated cycles of sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance illustrates God's mercy and faithfulness. This phrase assures believers of God's ability to transform situations of despair into testimonies of His grace and power.

(28) Then they cry.--There is a saying,

"Qui nescit orare, discat navigare."

Verse 28. - Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. Practically identical with vers. 6, 13, and 19.
