Afflictions naturally draw out complaints; and to whom should we complain but to God in prayer? It is necessary to exercise faith and hope under afflictions; and prayer is the appointed means both for obtaining and increasing these graces in us.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

afflicted--referring to the "suffering affliction" (Jas 5:10). let him pray--not "swear" in rash impatience. merry--joyous in mind. sing psalms--of praise.
