“I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.”
The statement that the speaker will call upon God who is worthy of praise and will be saved invokes the divine name as worthy object of worship. The worthiness of praise establishes that God deserves reverence independent of what He does for the speaker. The promise of salvation suggests that calling on God effects deliverance. This verse establishes that praise and petition are inseparable and that calling on God yields salvation.
