This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
This poor man ... As in Psalms 34:4-5, he passed from his own individual case to the general case of all "the humble" (Psalms 34:2; Psalms 34:6), who by looking to the Lord were lightened so here he returns to the particular case-namely, himself. Compare Samson's severe need, prayer, and relief (Judges 15:19). The Hebrew for "poor man" х `aaniy (H6041)] is akin to that for "the humble" [`ªnaawyim]. He is their representative alike in affliction and in humility.
