Psalm 115:9
“O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 115Meaning
After exposing false sources of security, the psalm turns positively toward covenant trust.
Threefold call to trust
Israel, the house of Aaron, and all who fear the Lord are each called to trust the Lord as help and shield.

The verse identifies God as ultimate help; it does not prohibit responsible secondary means or skilled assistance.

Rebuild trust around God while still using wise human help and responsible means.
