What Psalms 91:15 means
God continues His personal promises, assuring the believer of His attentive presence and active intervention. "He shall call upon me, and I will answer him," guarantees that prayers will be heard and responded to. Beyond this, God promises, "I will be with him in trouble," assuring His constant presence and comfort during difficult times, not just deliverance *from* trouble. Finally, "I will deliver him, and honor him," signifies both rescue from adversity and the bestowal of respect and favor, underscoring God's comprehensive care.

This builds a robust picture of God's commitment to His devoted ones, leading to the ultimate blessings of long life and salvation in verse 16.
