6. This poor man cried. Here he returns to his own
case. He was poor indeed, and so utterly friendless that his life was found in
great jeopardy; but he cried in his heart to the protector of his people and
found relief. His prayer was a cry, for brevity and bitterness, for earnestness
and simplicity, for artlessness and grief; it was a poor man’s cry, but it was
none the less powerful with heaven, for the Lordheard him, and to be heard of God is to be delivered; and so it is added,
the Lord saved him out of all his troubles. At once and altogether David
was clean rid of all his woes. The Lord sweeps our griefs away as the winds
clear away the mists. This verse is the psalmist’s own personal testimony. Let
the afflicted reader take heart and be of good courage.
