Commentators explain that the Hebrew word for “saints” (chasidim) here implies more than just being holy. It specifically refers to “ardent worshippers” or the “devout and God-fearing.” Historically, it designated those zealously committed to God's law, suggesting that God's special protection is for those who are passionately and actively devoted to Him.
