This word is often used in the Old Testament to describe times of severe hardship or crisis. Historically, the psalmist's distress could be linked to the many trials faced by the Israelites, such as oppression by enemies or personal tribulations. From a spiritual perspective, this phrase reminds believers that distress is a common human experience, yet it is also an opportunity to turn to God. It encourages Christians to seek divine help and comfort in times of trouble, trusting that God is attentive to their cries. I cried to the LORD and He answered me Parallel Commentaries ...
