Contextual Overview

1I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2My soul makes its boast in the LORD; The humble and downtrodden will hear it and rejoice. 3O magnify the LORD with me, And let us lift up His name together. 4I sought the LORD [on the authority of His word], and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears. 5They looked to Him and were radiant; Their faces will never blush in shame or confusion. 6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him And saved him from all his troubles.7The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence and worship Him with obedience], And He rescues [each of] them. 8O taste and see that the LORD [our God] is good; How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who takes refuge in Him. 9O [reverently] fear the LORD, you His saints (believers, holy ones); For to those who fear Him there is no want. 10The young lions lack [food] and grow hungry, But they who seek the LORD will not lack any good thing.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

This poor man cried,.... Singling out some one person from among the humble, who was remarkably delivered; it is the common case of the people of God to be poor and afflicted, and in their afflictions they cry unto the Lord to be supported under them, and delivered out of them: or this may be understood of David himself, who was poor, not with respect to outward things, but in spirit; was much afflicted, and especially greatly distressed when in the court of Achish; at which time he cried unto the Lord, as was his usual way, and that internally, as Moses did, Exodus 14:15. Some think Jesus Christ is intended by this poor man, who was poor in temporals, though rich, and Lord of all; and was greatly afflicted, both in body and soul; and who, in the days of his flesh, offered up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears, Hebrews 5:7;

and the Lord heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles; so the Lord always heard his son Jesus Christ, and especially in the day of salvation, and delivered him out of all his troubles, both of body and soul, when he raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; and he heard David his servant, as he often did; particularly when at Gath, and made way for his escape from thence; and from whence he came safe to the cave of Adullam; and the Lord hears all his poor and afflicted ones, when they cry unto him, and in the issue saves them from all their troubles, by reason of a body of sin and death, the temptations of Satan, and the persecutions of men.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This poor man cried - The psalmist here returns to his own particular experience. The emphasis here is on the word “this:” “This poor, afflicted, persecuted man cried.” There is something much more touching in this than if he had merely said “I,” or “I myself” cried. The language brings before us at once his afflicted and miserable condition. The word “poor” here - עני ânı̂y - does not mean “poor” in the sense of a want of wealth, but “poor” in the sense of being afflicted, crushed, forsaken, desolate. The word “miserable” would better express the idea than the word “poor.”

And the Lord heard him - That is, heard in the sense of “answered.” He regarded his cry, and saved him.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 34:6. This poor man cried — זה עני zeh ani, "This afflicted man," David.
