Tap a verse to highlight it

1 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy might.

2 Hear my prayer, O God. Give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul. They have not set God before them. Selah.

4 Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is of those who uphold my soul.

5 He will requite the evil to my enemies. Destroy thou them in thy truth.

6 With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to thee. I will give thanks to thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.

7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble, and my eye has seen it upon my enemies.

What does the psalm say about God as helper?
Verse 4 says 'Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul,' a confidence similar to Hebrews 13:6's 'The Lord is my helper.'
How does the psalm end?
It ends with thanksgiving already looking back on deliverance: 'he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies' (v.7).
