I called on the LORD in distress;
The LORD answered me and set me in a broad place.
Psalm 118:5 (New King James Version)
"Salvation means to be whole again, to be delivered in the midst of peril. Far back toward the Hebrew root of the word, it may even suggest that no matter how closely the evil hedges you about, God will yet clear for you all the space you need to move around in: "I called on the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a broad place.""
