Adversity Cried Cry Delivered Distress Distresses Salvation Saved Saveth Sorrow Trouble Troubles
107:13 Then they {e} cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saved them out of their distresses.
(e) He shows that the reason God punishes us extremely is because we can be brought to him by no other means.
107:10-16 This description of prisoners and captives intimates that they are desolate and sorrowful. In the eastern prisons the captives were and are treated with much severity. Afflicting providences must be improved as humbling providences; and we lose the benefit, if our hearts are unhumbled and unbroken under them. This is a shadow of the sinner's deliverance from a far worse confinement. The awakened sinner discovers his guilt and misery. Having struggled in vain for deliverance, he finds there is no help for him but in the mercy and grace of God. His sin is forgiven by a merciful God, and his pardon is accompanied by deliverance from the power of sin and Satan, and by the sanctifying and comforting influences of God the Holy Spirit.
