4548. 'Who answered me on the day of my distress' means within the state in which truth is placed above good. This is clear from the meaning of 'day' as state, dealt with in 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788, 3462, 3785. As for 'the day of my distress' meaning a state in which truth is placed above good, this becomes clear from what has been stated above in 4542, for the expression 'the day of distress' used here embodies the same as the words used there, 'When you fled from before Esau your brother'.
