God is Our Only True Help
All commentators agree that the verse's central message is the futility of relying on human strength or solutions. Whether in national crises, personal troubles, or spiritual battles, human aid is described as 'vain' or useless. This directs believers to place their ultimate trust and hope not in people, but in God as the only sufficient source of help and salvation.
