A Prayer for Life, Not Relief
Commentators like Charles Spurgeon highlight that when faced with great affliction, the psalmist's immediate prayer is not for comfort or deliverance, but to be 'quickened'—to be given more spiritual life and vigor. This teaches that seeking a deeper, more vibrant spiritual life is often the best remedy for trials, as it raises the soul above the distress and becomes the true source of comfort.
