The wording of this statement corresponds closely to the second half of Ps 33:18 (LXX; MT 34:17–19):

“The righteous ones cried out and the Lord heard them and delivered them from all their afflictions” (ekekraxan hoi dikaioi kai ho kyrios eisēkousen autōn kai ek pasōn tōn thlipseōn autōn errysato autous).25

Ps 33:20 resumes the language, stating the principle (in the future tense) underlying the act of deliverance celebrated two verses earlier:

“Many are the afflictions (thlipseis) of the righteous, and yet he will rescue them from them all” (kai ek pasōn autōn rhysetai autous)26 (cf. Ps 33:5; 141:7).
