Does God help us out of ALL our troubles (Psalm 34:17)?
17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. I am interested in this because The lyrics to "The Righteous Cry Out" are based on Psalm 34:17-18 and Psalm 46:2,11 (NKJV): Psalm 34:17-18 (NKJV): The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.

I would say that He does, although the manner or timing of our deliverance may not conform to our limited, temporal expectations. (I would also note that, strictly speaking, none of us qualify as "righteous" in the purest sense of that word.) Whenever I encounter difficulties, I try to look for ways in which God may be working through them for my benefit (Romans 8:28). I also try to remember that nothing that I have experienced (or will ever experience) in my life is worth even comparing with the coming joy of the eternal life that is mine through faith in Christ (Romans 8:18).
