Because you have made the LORD your dwelling— my refuge, the Most High—

“Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him.
15 Ọ ga-akpọku m, aga m azakwa ya. Aga m anọnyere ya nʼime nsogbu ya, aga m adọpụta, ma sọpụrụkwa ya.
When he calls out to Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.
16 Aga m eji ogologo ndụ mee ka afọ ju ya, gosikwa ya nzọpụta m.”
With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.”
