It only took me a minutes to read this psalm. Often times God finds us just like David describes himself; in a tight spot. Whether it be caught between the results of our sin and our choice to sin, of the threats and evil plans of our oppressors. When David found himself there before he called out and depended upon God. David doesn't say he took a way all the pain, or the oppression. But God did replace the "tight place" with "room". Those are the expectations we need to have for God; not that he would eliminate that which seeks to destroy us, but give us the room so that we can continue to live out our faith under the chilling breath of those threats.
