 Gethsemane, and the cross, or the first part of Psalm 22, are the best comment on verse 7. (Hebrews 5:7-10 by W. Kelly)
 And if ever prayers and supplications, if ever strong crying and tears, were realities for the heart before God, His were. For His divine nature screened Him from no pain, grief, or humiliation, or suffering, but rather gave competency of person to endure perfectly, while all was accepted in absolute dependence on, and subjection to, His Father. There was not a particle of hardness or insensibility in Christ. (Hebrews 5:7-10 by W. Kelly)
 Christ therefore, besides that which fell exclusively on Him as the propitiation for our sins in vindicating God at all cost sacrificially, knew as no saint ever did all that can befall holiness and love in a world and in the midst of a people alienated from God. As at the beginning Satan sought to attract Him from the path of lowly, suffering, and absolute obedience, by temptations subtly suited to the circumstances, so he assailed Him at the end with the terrors of death, and of such a death! But all was in vain. He suffered, but did not succumb. (Hebrews 5:7-10 by W. Kelly)
 Whatever His inward and unwavering confidence, He could have no public answer till resurrection when He was saved and out of death. (Hebrews 5:7-10 by W. Kelly)
 But His glory ... does not bring Him near to the miseries of men. It is His history on earth which makes us feel how truly able He is to take part in them. (Hebrews 5 by J.N. Darby)
 His piety, the right estimation of the position in which sinful man was found, and what must come from God because of it. (Hebrews 5 by J.N. Darby)
 If He is to succor and support His people through their wilderness journey, He Himself must enter into the sorrows and difficulties of the way. (Christ's Sufferings and Call to Priesthood: Hebrews 5:1-10 by H. Smith)
 In Gethsemane the enemy sought to turn the Lord from the path of obedience by pressing upon Him the terror of death….Nevertheless, His very perfection as Man led Him to feel the terror of all that was before Him and to express His feelings in strong crying and tears. (Christ's Sufferings and Call to Priesthood: Hebrews 5:1-10 by H. Smith)
 In all this sore trial He was heard because of His piety, which brought God into every circumstance by dependence and confidence in Him. (Christ's Sufferings and Call to Priesthood: Hebrews 5:1-10 by H. Smith)
 The sufferings to which the Apostle refers were in “the days of His flesh,” not the day of His death. At the cross He suffered under the wrath of God, and there He must be alone. (Christ's Sufferings and Call to Priesthood: Hebrews 5:1-10 by H. Smith)

Several versions strangely render this "delivered from fear," or the like.
