Salmi 107:19 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 107:19

Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble
A time of affliction is a time of trouble, and a proper season for prayer; and by it persons are brought to the throne of grace, when humbled under the mighty hand of God, to seek for relief. Hezekiah in his affliction prayed to the Lord, though Asa sought to the physicians only, and not to the Lord; this is to be understood of such who are convinced of their folly, brought to a sense of sin and danger, and therefore cry to the Lord for his sparing mercy, and pardoning grace.

And he saveth them out of their distresses:
their afflictions, which were distressing to them, by removing their disorders and restoring them to health again; as follows.

Salmi 107:19 In-Context

17 Così dicano gli stolti, ch’erano afflitti per li lor misfatti, Ne’ quali camminavano, e per le loro iniquità.
18 La cui anima abbominava ogni cibo; Ed erano giunti fino alle porte della morte.
19 Ma, avendo gridato al Signore, mentre erano in distretta, Egli li ha salvati dalle loro angosce.
20 Egli ha mandata la sua parola, e li ha sanati, E liberati dalle lor malattie mortali.
21 Celebrino adunque appo il Signore la sua benignità, E le sue maraviglie appo i figliuoli degli uomini.
