Explanation
The psalm opens the Songs of Ascents, the pilgrimage journey to Jerusalem. The verse declares: I call on the Lord in my distress, and he answers me. The pilgrim begins his journey recognizing prayer as his support. The psalm speaks of lying tongues and hostile environments. Today, this verse teaches us that the journey of faith begins in prayer. When distress presses, the Lord is the first to whom we can cry. God hears the sincere cry of his children in any situation. The Lord's answer gives strength to continue the journey.
