From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

They cried unto thee -They offered earnest prayer and supplication. And were delivered -From dangers and trials. They trusted in thee, and were not confounded -They were not disappointed. Literally, “they were not ashamed.” That is, they had not the confusion which those have who are disappointed. The idea in the word is, that when men put their trust in anything and are disappointed, they are conscious of a species of “shame” as if they had been foolish in relying on that which proved to be insufficient to help them; as if they had manifested a want of wisdom in not being more cautious, or in supposing that they could derive help from that which has proved to be fallacious.
