Notes on verse:

God is to be invoked by prayer, and to be called upon in every time of trouble, in faith and with fervency, in truth and uprightness, and sincerity of soul. And he himself directs and encourages to it, and promises an answer, which he always sooner or later gives. For he is a God hearing and answering prayer (see Psalm 50:15).

“I will be with him in trouble”: The Lord knows his people in adversity. He visits them in their affliction, grants his gracious presence with them, supports them under it, that they are not overwhelmed by it. He bears them up and through it, and makes all things work together for their good.

“I will deliver him, and honor him”: Deliverance is again promised, to denote the certainty of it. And with this addition, that the Lord will honor such that know him, and love him. All his saints are honored by him, by taking them into his family, and giving them a name better than that of sons and daughters of the greatest potentate. By clothing them with the righteousness of his Son. By adorning them with the graces of his Spirit. By granting them communion and fellowship with himself, and by bringing them to his kingdom and glory.

Notice this does not say, maybe I will answer. It says I will answer. Notice also, that there will be trouble, but God will be with us in the trouble. He will deliver us out of our trouble. As a Father cares for a child, is what we can expect. We are His children. Saints are first called of God, then we must accept that call. When we answer His call, we become His children. Now we can call on Him to help us, for we are His. He will answer the call of His children, when they use the name of His firstborn, Jesus Christ.
