“In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.”
On the day I called, you answered me, you increased my strength of soul. God's responsiveness to prayer (answering on the day called) establishes divine accessibility and attentiveness to human need. The increased strength of soul suggests inner fortification and courage flowing from divine response; prayer itself produces transformation. This verse illustrates the grounds for thanksgiving announced in verse 1; God has acted on behalf of the psalmist. The specificity (the day I called) suggests a particular crisis or need; God's intervention in that moment becomes the occasion for this entire psalm of thanksgiving.
