The Old Testament often calls God “My help” and other similar names in the context of His defense from enemies. The Hebrew word ‘ezra comes from ‘azar, which often denotes military help. King David had lots of experience of God helping him in practical ways. He readily called God “my Helper.” God helps His people in numerous ways throughout our lives.
