I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

34:5 were lightened. This unique adjective, “lightened,” has the root meaning of “sparkle.” It is often used to describe a fast-flowing, cascading, sparkling stream of water. Thus, when God answers our prayers in special ways, it results in “sparkling” or “radiant” countenances, as they “light up” with joy.
