Psalm 120
In my distress…
{in my need, my anxiety, my trouble, my adversity – physical, mental, social, or economic}
…I called…
{shouted, named, proclaimed, summoned, uttered in a loud voice, requested, appealed}
…to the Lord…
{Yahweh, God, Master}
…and he answered me.
{replied, gave evidence of his hearing, testified, responded, reacted}
This is an example of how I may take one verse that speaks to me and break it down by segments. Sometimes just drilling down on one word can make a verse come alive.
Whatever your “distress” looks like, you can call out to the Lord. He answers.
