A Divine 'Shall' and 'Will'
Commentators highlight the powerful shift in this verse where God Himself begins to speak, confirming the psalmist's confidence. The promise isn't just a hopeful wish; it's a divine guarantee. As Charles Spurgeon notes, the verse is filled with 'glorious shalls and wills.' God's grace will move the believer to pray ('He shall call'), and God's power will ensure a response ('I will answer him').
