Psalms 118:5 meaning and explanation
In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered and set me free.
Psalms 118:5, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
The psalmist speaks from the middle of a hard struggle, likely a national or personal crisis, and he looks back on a moment when he cried out to God and was answered. The Hebrew word rendered “distress” carries the sense of being hemmed in or cramped, and the verb for “set me free” means to be given room, widened out.
