It is often used in contexts where individuals experience emotional or psychological distress, typically in response to external circumstances or divine intervention. The term suggests a deep, unsettling disturbance that affects one's peace of mind.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, emotional states were often expressed vividly and were considered integral to one's relationship with God and community. The concept of being troubled or dismayed was not merely a personal experience but was often seen in the context of one's faith and trust in God. The Israelites frequently faced situations that tested their faith, such as battles, exile, and divine judgment, which could lead to feelings of dismay.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
