2 My help `cometh' from Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.
Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 125 A Song of Ascents.
Blessed are ye of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? The everlasting God, Jehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary; there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might he increaseth strength.
For I, Jehovah thy God, will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
So that with good courage we say, The Lord is my helper; I will not fear: What shall man do unto me?
Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God: Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that in them is; Who keepeth truth for ever;
But Jehovah is with me as a mighty one `and' a terrible: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be utterly put to shame, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten.

3, 4. His sleepless vigilance is added.
to be moved—(Compare Ps 38:16; 66:9).
5. upon thy right hand—a protector's place (Ps 109:31; 110:5).
6-8. God keeps His people at all times and in all perils.
nor the moon by night—poetically represents the dangers of the night, over which the moon presides (Ge 1:16).
8. thy going out, &c.—all thy ways (De 28:19; Ps 104:23).
evermore—includes a future state.
