Psalms 91:15. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:
Notice, that it is, "He shall," and I will." The mighty grace of God "shall" make us pray, and the Almighty God of grace "will" answer our prayer: "He shall call upon me, and I will answer him." How I love these glorious shalls and wills!
Psalms 91:15. I will be with him in trouble;
"Whatever that trouble is, I will be with him in it. If he be dishonoured, if he be in poverty, if he be in sickness, if that sickness should drive his best friend away from his bed, still, ‘I will be with him in trouble.’"
Psalms 91:15. I will deliver him, and honour him.
God puts honour upon us, poor dishonourable worms that we are. One old divine calls a man "a worm six feet long"; and it is rather a flattering description of him. But God says, "I will deliver him, and honour him."
