Present help. The complete phrase reads literally, “a help in distresses has He been found exceedingly.” Since God has always proved His help, He may be depended on in dire straits.

Verses 1–3 constitute the first stanza, which portrays the security of God’s people even when the foundations of the earth are shaken.
