Biblically, calling upon God is a recurring theme, seen in instances like <a href="/jonah/2-2.htm">Jonah 2:2</a>, where Jonah calls out to God from the belly of the fish. The "day of trouble" can refer to any period of personal crisis or national calamity, reflecting the human condition's vulnerability. Historically, the Israelites often faced threats from surrounding nations, and their deliverance was contingent upon their reliance on God. This call to prayer underscores the covenant relationship between God and His people, where God promises to hear and respond to their cries.<p><b>I will deliver you,</b><br>This promise of deliverance is central to God's character as a rescuer and protector. In the Old Testament, God delivered Israel from Egypt (<a href="/exodus/14-30.htm">Exodus 14:30</a>) and repeatedly from their enemies during the time of the Judges. This deliverance is not just physical but also spiritual, pointing to the ultimate deliverance through Jesus Christ, who saves from sin and eternal separation from God. The assurance of deliverance is a testament to God's faithfulness and power, encouraging believers to trust in His ability to save.<p><b>and you will honor Me.”</b><br>The response to God's deliverance is to honor Him, which involves gratitude, worship, and obedience. In the cultural context of ancient Israel, honoring God was expressed through sacrifices, offerings, and adherence to His commandments. This phrase connects to the broader biblical theme of glorifying God, as seen in <a href="/1_corinthians/10-31.htm">1 Corinthians 10:31</a>, where believers are instructed to do everything for the glory of God. Honoring God is both a personal and communal act, reflecting a life transformed by His grace and acknowledging His sovereignty and goodness.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The speaker in this verse, inviting His people to call upon Him in times of trouble.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist (Asaph)</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/50.htm">Psalm 50</a>, who conveys God's message to the people.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The primary audience of the Psalm, representing God's covenant people.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/d/day_of_trouble.htm">Day of Trouble</a></b><br>A time of distress or difficulty when believers are encouraged to seek God's help.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/d/deliverance.htm">Deliverance</a></b><br>The act of God rescuing or saving His people from their troubles.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/d/dependence_on_god.htm">Dependence on God</a></b><br>Believers are encouraged to rely on God rather than their own strength in times of trouble.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_power_of_prayer.htm">The Power of Prayer</a></b><br>Prayer is a direct line to God, and He promises to respond to those who earnestly seek Him.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_faithfulness.htm">God’s Faithfulness</a></b><br>God’s promise to deliver is a testament to His faithfulness and love for His people.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/response_of_gratitude.htm">Response of Gratitude</a></b><br>Deliverance should lead to honoring God, acknowledging His role in our lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/trust_in_god's_timing.htm">Trust in God’s Timing</a></b><br>Deliverance may not come immediately, but trusting in God’s perfect timing is crucial.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_50.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 50</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_public_prayer_acceptable.htm">Is public prayer acceptable?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_can_prayer_be_made_more_effective.htm">How can prayer be made more effective?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_atavism_mean.htm">What does 'Call on the Lord to be saved' mean?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_'call_on_the_lord'_mean.htm">What does "Call on the Lord to be saved" mean?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/50.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 15.</span> -
