Will he delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times, extending the depiction of the wicked's spiritual condition by asserting that the godless neither delights in God nor maintains the continuous prayer relationship that characterizes the righteous. The rhetorical questions imply that the wicked have no ongoing relationship with God upon which they might draw in extremity. The reference to calling at all times emphasizes that righteousness involves continuous address to God, habitual prayer and communion that the wicked neither practice nor can suddenly activate when desperate. The contrast between the wicked's spiritual isolation and the righteous person's relationship with God becomes the foundation for understanding different outcomes in extremity.
