Psalm 91:15

He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

13You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
14“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
15He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.
16I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”
