Psalm 34:22
King James Version
22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants:
and none of them that trust in him
shall be desolate.
What does affliction mean?
Who gives us comfort?
Where can we find hope from?
Who can we turn to?
First, the meaning of "affliction".
Merriam-Webster defines it as "great suffering".
That, in itself, says a lot.
Let these Psalm 34 verses give comfort to all of us:

and he heard me,
and delivered me from all my fears.

and the Lord heard him,
and saved him out of all his troubles.

encampeth round about them that fear him,
and delivereth them.
