Many are the afflictions of the righteous
This phrase acknowledges the reality that even those who live in accordance with God's will—referred to as "the righteous"—are not exempt from suffering. The Hebrew word for "afflictions" is "ra'ot," which can also mean troubles or evils. This suggests a broad spectrum of challenges, from physical suffering to emotional and spiritual trials. Historically, the righteous have often faced persecution and hardship, as seen in the lives of biblical figures like Job, David, and the prophets. This phrase serves as a reminder that righteousness does not guarantee a life free from difficulty, but rather, it is often accompanied by trials.

but the LORD delivers him out of them all
The conjunction "but" introduces a contrast to the previous statement, offering hope and assurance. The Hebrew word for "delivers" is "natsal," which means to snatch away, rescue, or save. This implies an active intervention by God in the lives of the righteous. The use of "the LORD" (Yahweh) emphasizes the personal and covenantal nature of God's relationship with His people. Throughout Scripture, God is portrayed as a deliverer, from the Exodus of the Israelites to the salvation offered through Jesus Christ. This phrase reassures believers that no matter the extent or severity of their afflictions, God's deliverance is comprehensive and certain. It encourages trust in God's faithfulness and His ultimate sovereignty over all circumstances.

Verse 19. - Many are the afflictions of the righteous (comp. Job 36:8-10; Acts 14:22; 1 Corinthians 15:19; 2 Timothy 3:12; Hebrews 11:33-38; Hebrews 12:5-10, etc.). The righteous suffer afflictions because they are so imperfectly righteous. They need purging, purifying, chastening, to rid them of the dross and defilement of sin which still clings to them, and from which they are never wholly freed while they continue in the flesh. "We must through mush tribulation enter into the kingdom of God" (Acts 14:22). We must, like the Captain of our salvation, be "made perfect through suffering" (Hebrews 2:10). But the Lord delivereth him out of them all. When they have done their appointed work of purging, purifying, instructing, improving, or whatever else their work may be, God removes the afflictions with which he has visited us or allowed us to be visited, ultimately, when he takes us to himself, mercifully delivering us "out of them all."
