That is the sense of the word, and the work of God. We find the word used to signify the pulling or drawing off of the shoo, (Deut. 25.19.) As the shoo is tied or buckled to the foot, and must be loosed before it can with any ease be drawn off;1 so afflictions are tied to us, till the Lord unlooseth and draweth them off from us, or us, from them. To draw out of trouble, or to draw us out of trouble, is deliverance. David expresseth himself by that word (Psal. 6.4.) Return, O Lord, deliver (or draw) my soul (that is me) out of the enemies hand, or out of the trouble which compasseth me about, and is ready, like deep waters, to swallow me up. He delivereth The poor in his affliction.2
