Notes on this verse:

Their affliction, their hearts being brought down with labor, and they being and finding themselves in a state of darkness, in the shadow of death, in affliction and iron. Or in soul troubles, under a sense of sin, and in a view of wrath and displeasure. Under apprehensions of imminent danger, as the disciples in the storm; and therefore cry to the Lord, as they did, Lord, save us, we perish (Matt. 8:2).

“And he saved them out of their distresses”: From all their sins; from the curse of the law; from wrath to come; from hell and death; being both able and willing. The following verse further explains this.

The wonderful thing about God, is that He will allow us to cry unto Him, even if we have rejected Him in the past. When an earnest cry comes unto the Lord, He hears and helps. It is strange, but most people do not cry out unto the Lord, until they are at the end of being able to get out of the mess by themselves. This is a cry of desperation. God always hears this kind of prayer. He not only hears, but answers. He is really our only help.
