Psalms 118:5

5 In my distress ^{▼▼ Heb “from the distress.” The noun מֵצַר (metsar, “straits; distress”) occurs only here and in Lam 1:3. In Ps 116:3 מצר should probably be emended to מְצָדֵי (m^etsadey, “snares of”).} I cried out to the Lord.
The Lord answered me and put me in a wide open place. ^{▼▼ Heb “the Lord answered me in a wide open place.”}
