Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.”

He gave names to all the livestock, all the birds of the sky, and all the wild animals. But still there was no helper just right for him.

His second son was named Eliezer, for Moses had said, “The God of my ancestors was my helper; he rescued me from the sword of Pharaoh.”)

Do not turn your back on me. Do not reject your servant in anger. You have always been my helper. Don’t leave me now; don’t abandon me, O God of my salvation!

As for me, since I am poor and needy, let the Lord keep me in his thoughts. You are my helper and my savior. O my God, do not delay.

But God is my helper. The Lord keeps me alive!

Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.

But as for me, I am poor and needy; please hurry to my aid, O God. You are my helper and my savior; O Lord, do not delay.

O Israel, trust the Lord! He is your helper and your shield.

O priests, descendants of Aaron, trust the Lord! He is your helper and your shield.

All you who fear the Lord, trust the Lord! He is your helper and your shield.

But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the Lord their God.

In his wisdom, the Lord will send great disaster; he will not change his mind. He will rise against the wicked and against their helpers.

“You are about to be destroyed, O Israel— yes, by me, your only helper.

Do what is good and run from evil so that you may live! Then the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies will be your helper, just as you have claimed.
