195 - In Distress You Broadened for Me

"In distress You broadened for me" (Psalms 4:2) – even within the distress itself, Hashem blessed be He provides expansion for us. If one reflects on Hashem's kindnesses, he sees that even when Hashem causes distress, within that very distress He broadens for him and magnifies His kindness with him. This is "in distress You broadened for me" – granting spaciousness even inside the distress. This is beyond our expectation that Hashem will soon save us from all distresses and bestow great good; even in the distress itself, He provides expansiveness for us.
