Psalms 91:15

Verse Psalms 91:15. He shall call upon me] He must continue to pray; all his blessings must come in this way; when he calls, I will answer him - I will give him whatever is best for him.

I will be with him in trouble] Literally, I am with him. עמו אנכי immo anochi; as soon as the trouble comes, I are there.

I will deliver him] For his good I may permit him to be exercised for a time, but delivered he shall be.

And honour him] אכבדהו acabbedehu, "I will glorify him." I will load him with honour; that honour that comes from God. I will even show to men how highly I prize such.
