Haydock's commentary
Helper. Hebrew, "asylum and buckler." We must keep in his presence, (Haydock) and avoid the society of the wicked, if we would search the law, ver. 115. (Worthington)

The Fathers on this verse
St Augustine Expositions on the Book of Psalms, Samech
113. He next addeth: “Thou art my helper and my taker up” ( ver. 114 ): “my helper,” to do good works: “my taker up,” to escape evil ones. In the next words, “I have hoped more on Thy word,” he speaketh as a son of promise.
