54:4-5 God Is My Helper. The prayer directed to God in vv. 1-3 is a wise one, because God has promised to be the helper and upholder of . . . life for each of his faithful. Thus each believer can trust that God will return the evil to my enemies (i.e., the evil they intend to carry out, cf. 5:10; 7:15), and thus can leave the timing of that to God (it may or may not be in the particular worshiper's lifetime).
