Your Divine Helper
When you feel weak, you are not alone. Commentators explain that the word 'helpeth' paints a picture of the Holy Spirit coming alongside you to help carry your burdens, just as one would help a friend lift a heavy object. He doesn't just give aid from a distance; He joins you in your struggle, taking on part of the load with you.
