The command to call upon God in the day of trouble and the promise that God will deliver establishes the relationship that God desires. The reference to day of trouble suggests circumstances of distress and the genuine human need that drives petition. The promise of deliverance establishes that God's role involves response to authentic human need and the extension of divine aid. The promise that the petitioner will glorify God suggests that the proper response to divine deliverance involves the expression of gratitude and public acknowledgment of God's power. This verse establishes the reciprocal nature of true covenant relationship: humans petition God in need, God delivers, and humans respond with gratitude and glorification.
