“In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.”
The declaration that in distress the speaker called upon God and cried to God for help establishes prayer as the response to mortal danger. The specificity of calling and crying emphasizes the directness and urgency of the plea. The appeal to God for help invokes divine intervention as the only possible salvation. This verse establishes that the speaker's deliverance originated in his prayer.
