Then they cried out
This phrase captures a moment of desperation and earnest appeal. The Hebrew root for "cried out" is "זָעַק" (za'aq), which conveys a sense of a loud call or a cry for help. In the biblical context, this cry is not just a vocal expression but a deep, heartfelt plea to God. Historically, the Israelites often found themselves in situations where their only recourse was to call upon the Lord. This act of crying out signifies a recognition of human limitation and a turning towards divine intervention. It is a reminder that in times of distress, God hears the cries of His people.

to the LORD
The term "LORD" in this context is derived from the Hebrew "יהוה" (YHWH), the sacred and personal name of God revealed to Moses. This name signifies God's eternal presence and covenantal faithfulness. By crying out to the LORD, the psalmist emphasizes a personal relationship with God, who is not distant but intimately involved in the lives of His people. The use of "LORD" underscores the belief in a God who is both powerful and compassionate, ready to respond to the needs of His covenant people.

in their trouble
The word "trouble" here is translated from the Hebrew "צָרָה" (tsarah), which refers to distress, adversity, or affliction. This term is often used in the Old Testament to describe situations of extreme difficulty or danger. The historical context of Israel is replete with instances of such troubles, whether due to external enemies, natural disasters, or internal strife. This phrase acknowledges the reality of suffering in the human experience and the need for divine assistance. It serves as a reminder that God is a refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble.

and He delivered them
The verb "delivered" comes from the Hebrew "נָצַל" (natsal), meaning to rescue, save, or snatch away. This action is a testament to God's power and willingness to intervene on behalf of His people. Throughout the Bible, God is portrayed as a deliverer, from the Exodus narrative to the deliverance of individuals like David. This phrase assures believers of God's ability to rescue them from their dire circumstances. It is a promise of hope and redemption, illustrating that no situation is beyond God's saving power.

from their distress
The word "distress" is similar to "trouble" and is translated from the Hebrew "מְצוּקָה" (metsuqah), which also denotes anguish or hardship. This repetition emphasizes the severity of the situation from which God delivers His people. The historical and scriptural context shows that God's deliverance often leads to a transformation of circumstances, turning mourning into joy and despair into hope. This phrase encourages believers to trust in God's deliverance, knowing that He is faithful to bring them out of their distress and into a place of peace and security.

Verse 6. - Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble (comp. Psalm 106:44, and the comment ad loc.). And he delivered them out of their distresses. "Distresses" may be a plural of amplification, or it may point to the triple suffering - hunger, thirst, faintness.
