Tehillim 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.

Tehillim 107:19 In-Context

17 Fools because of their derech peysha, and because of their avonot (iniquities), were afflicted.

18 Their nefesh abhorreth all manner of ochel (food); and they drew near unto the sha’arei mavet (gates of death).

19 Then they cried unto Hashem in their tzoros, and He saveth them out of their distresses.

20 He sent His Davar, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions [See Yn 1:1, 14; Mt 4:23].

21 Oh that men would praise Hashem for His chesed, and for His nifla’ot (wonderful works) to the Bnei Adam!
