Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - I called upon the Lord in distress; literally, from the strait place; i.e. from the straits in which I was. It is generally agreed that the Babylonian captivity is intended. The nation had called to God in its distress by the mouth of Daniel (Daniel 9:4-19) and of other holy men. The Lord answered me, and set me in a large place; literally, the Lord answered me on the open plain. The idea is, "The Lord gave me enlargement" - took me out of my straits - "set my feet in a large room" (Psalm 31:8).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) I called.--Better, out of the straitness I cried to Jah; answered me, with freedom, Jah. The meaning of the last clause (literally, with room. Comp.: "Ay, marry, now my soul has elbow-room"--King John) is determined by the parallelism of Psalm 18:19. The versions read "freedom of Jah," i.e., boundless freedom,"
