| 15When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. | 15When he calls out to me, I will answer him. I will be with him when he is in trouble; I will rescue him and bring him honor. |
| 16With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” | 16I will satisfy him with long life, and will let him see my salvation. |
