| 5You will not fear the terror of the night, the arrow that flies by day, | 5You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Or of the arrow that flies by day; |

| 15When he calls out to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will rescue him and give him honor. | 15"He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. |
