The "day of distress" can refer to any period of personal crisis, whether due to external threats, internal struggles, or spiritual challenges. Historically, King David, traditionally attributed as the author of this psalm, faced numerous adversities, including persecution by Saul, betrayal by close allies, and family turmoil. This phrase underscores the human experience of seeking divine intervention during life's trials.<p><b>I call on You</b><br>Calling on God is an act of faith and dependence, demonstrating a personal relationship with the divine. In the ancient Near Eastern context, calling upon a deity was a common practice, but the psalmist's call is distinct in its monotheistic focus on Yahweh, the God of Israel. This reflects the covenant relationship between God and His people, where God is seen as a personal and accessible helper. The act of calling on God is also a form of prayer, which is central to the believer's life, as seen throughout the Bible.<p><b>because You answer me</b><br>This phrase expresses confidence in God's responsiveness. The assurance that God answers prayer is a recurring theme in Scripture, seen in passages like <a href="/jeremiah/33-3.htm">Jeremiah 33:3 and 1</a> <a href="/john/5-14.htm">John 5:14-15</a>. The psalmist's certainty in God's answer is rooted in past experiences of divine faithfulness. This reflects the biblical principle that God is attentive to the cries of His people and acts according to His will and purpose. Theologically, it points to God's omniscience and omnipotence, affirming that He is both aware of and able to address the needs of His followers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/86.htm">Psalm 86</a>, David is a central figure in the Old Testament, known for his deep relationship with God, his psalms, and his role as the second king of Israel.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central focus of David's plea in this psalm, God is portrayed as a responsive and compassionate deity who listens to the cries of His people.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/d/day_of_distress.htm">Day of Distress</a></b><br>This phrase refers to times of trouble or hardship that David, and by extension believers, experience.
