He praises God with thanksgiving But I am in pain and distress The phrase "But I am in pain and distress" captures the psalmist's deep personal anguish. The Hebrew word for "pain" here is "עָנִי" (ani), which often denotes affliction or suffering. This word is frequently used in the Psalms to express a state of humility and vulnerability before God. The term "distress" is translated from "צָרָה" (tsarah), which can mean trouble or adversity. Historically, this reflects the common human experience of suffering, which is a recurring theme in the Psalms. The psalmist's candid admission of his condition invites readers to bring their own struggles before God, acknowledging that pain and distress are part of the human condition but can be laid at the feet of the Almighty. let Your salvation, O God, protect me Parallel Commentaries ...
